One-block wonders One fabric, one shape, one-of-a-kind quilts

One-block wonder quilts use only one fabric cut into one shape to create quilts that give the impression of vast complexity. Large-scale patterned fabrics are layered, cut into triangles, and pieced together into hexagons and octagons to create one-of-a-kind kaleidoscope blocks very different from the original fabrics. This technique does not require the precision of traditional quilting but instead gives the quilter freedom to create a quilt full of movement and color. First-time author Rosenthal gently leads the reader through the all-important process of choosing the appropriate fabric, cutting it, and designing the quilt on a homemade fabric wall. A good selection for large public libraries. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. All rights reserved.
