Full of techniques and insights to take quilt designs far, far beyond the ordinary, this workshop-in-a-book teaches everything there is to know about pieced design. Topics include working with focus, depth of field, and scale; using geometry to adapt images into quilt blocks, and moving from sketches to pieced block diagrams, as well as how to select fabrics, when to use borders, and how to teach Ruth B. McDowell?s methods to other quilters. Beautiful full-color photographs of many previously unpublished quilts offer an endless source of ideas and inspiration. Ready to try something new?
