What a great idea to add color and style to the bed! Instead of a full quilt, the patterns in this book are for pillows and reversible bed runners that drape across the bed.
There are good basic instructions to make the runners, but also instructions to embellish sheets and pillowcases. There is a how-to for making “The Easiest Pillow Ever” and pillow shams. The instructions are clear, with diagrams, color pictures, and full-sized templates.
The beautiful Rose Irish chain Runner is an easy four-patch with a scalloped edge design. Perfect for the reverse side is the “Scattered Leaves” runner. There are also instructions for matching pillowcases and sheets. What a pretty set!
There is a “Houndstooth/Suits Me” set and a youthful Pizzazz/Starry Night set with appliqués and loose stitch-on decorations. For your Batiks there is the serene Waves and for your brights there is the Playful squares set. There is an elegant Floral Silk runner, the natural Forest Runner, and the cheerful Friendship Star. My favorite is the earthy Leaves-and-Trees with maple leaves and a tree scene. The flip side for this one is a bold Rail Fence.
This is one of my favorite quilt books this year. There is something for all quilt skill levels, including beginners to quilting.
I received a copy of this book for review from Martingale & Company, Home of That Patchwork Place. I accept books for review with the understanding that I will give my honest opinion of the book. I receive no compensation if the book is purchased through my link.
