Out of the Box with Easy Blocks
By Mary Lou Weidman and Melanie Bautista McFarland
If you’ve ever admired ”wonky” blocks and free-form piecing, this book will tell you how to do it. Every block (13) and quilt (7) pattern featured has more than a touch of whimsy, and they’re all incredibly do-able with step-by-step instructions. Try pictorial blocks such as cats, shoes, popsicles, and letters, as well as wonky versions of more traditional blocks. Free yourself from the constraints of traditional piecing by sewing crazy angles, and then learn how to square them up and help them work together in a fun, dynamic quilt or wall hanging. You’ll have so much fun that you’ll work your way through every project in the book!
