Strips 'n Curves: A New Spin on Strip Piecing

I live in Singapore. I purchased this book for my friends who had taken the class with me. We are all making second quilts we had so much fun. This book allows the quilter to use fabric pieces to advantage, esp those that might not be the right color or print for the quilt originally purchased for. Every quilt is unique. They are beautiful with monochromatic or complimentary color schemes. My favorites are the brights.

The quilts in this book are just beautiful. As all quilters can tell by looking at the quilts, there is a lot of work that goes into them. This book is not meant for the lazy quilter, you have to put your skills to work. If you can sew curves, you can do this. I love the pictures and the instructions are pretty straight forward. Definately a great addition to my library.

I ordered this book for a class and am very excited with all of the possibilities for fabric and patterns. Your imagination will go wild with the color selections and designs. I haven't sewn curves for quite some time and these templates made it very easy to accomplish. Directions are explicit and I have used fabrics in my stash that I never thought would go into a quilt. I will definitely make more than one of these. Go for it. Such fun and yours will be an original.

After I opened the package and thumbed through the first few pages, I just had to hurry and get to my sewing room to start one of these fabulous quilts! I could hardly quit until it was finished! It turned out just great, and I've received lots of compliments. I seldom make more than one quilt from a pattern, but I'm going to make more of these -- the imagination goes wild, thinking of the combinations you can make. Get this book!

An excellent book. The pictures and explanations of this quilting technique were very well written, and easily understandable. The end result was a quilt that looked very complicated but in reality was easy to make. I would highly recommend this book to any quilter.
