For those who like to make a bold statement in their quilts
Nancy Mahoney has created a book with big beautiful flower quilts. These patterns are great for beginners. There are patterns for both easy appliqué and
for a combination of appliqué and piecing.
There are instructions for making and placing templates, no
trace cutting, starch appliqué, fusible appliqué, and finishing techniques. The instructions and diagrams are clear and concise.
All of the patterns in this book would be appropriate for a
beginner quilter, and there are even a few patterns for a person wanting to try
appliqué for the first time. My favorite pattern in the book is Daisy Vines on
p. 66. It has a very easy pieced
background for the three columns of large flowered vines, and the vines are
divided by with easy pieced sashes. A desktop wallpaper photo of the Daisy Vines quilt is available at Martingale & Company website free of charge (see link below).
I recommend this book for beginners or any quilter wanting a
quick easy project.
I received my copy of Fast Fusible Flower Quilts from the
publisher for review with no expectation of anything other than an honest
review. I post a link for purchase, but I receive no compensation if a book is sold.
