Book - 2024
When you combine sampler quilts with the ever-growing popularity of foundation paper-pieced quilt blocks--those inspired by nature and gorgeous quilting prints--it's a win-win! Inside this quilting book, author Liza Taylor has created 30 floral and creatures-of-flight blocks that have a sophisticated sensibility. The patterns include dragonflies, a ladybug, poppy flower, larkspur, maple leaf, lotus, forget-me-not, peony, and much more. Individually, these blocks are beautiful; combined into a full-size sampler quilt, table runner, and wall hangings, they're simply fabulous! Liza Taylor is a sewing pattern designer based in Utah. She specializes in foundation paper piecing and has a passion for teaching others this beautiful skill.... Her goal is to help people discover the joy of creating stunning, handmade pieces that bring beauty and creativity into everyday life. These blocks are so pretty that you might find yourself making extras to complement your fresh new bedding! The blocks are offered in two sizes -- 5" and 7" -- with on-page templates, but Liza also instructs quilters how to enlarge a foundation pattern in case you're looking for alternative-size blocks. You'll also find an idea gallery for other inventive ways to use these beautiful blocks.
