Quilts of all sizes and styles are featured in this how-to manual that includes instructions and patterns for eight projects that improve and advance skills. The book details seven different time-saving techniques--machine appliqué, hand appliqué, paper piecing, templates and paper-pieced Dresdens, bias stems, quilt-as-you-go, and foundation piecing--with complete tutorials on each one, full-color diagrams, and beautiful color photographs. Customizable with color selections for those who have trouble choosing materials, alternate fabric choices, and eight size options, including lap size, the quilts can be made as matching sets for a child and her doll. The variety of styles ensures that there's something for everyone, and skill levels range from beginner to advanced.
