Book Description

This book presents Cath's new take on traditional patchwork, which combines established techniques with a more contemporary approach. Mixing her own distinctive prints with vintage fabrics, Cath has designed 30 original projects including not just the pieced quilts but also numerous accessories and home furnishings - bags, cushions, pillowcases, even a toddler's toy ball and a dog bed. Many of the projects in this book can be made out of the scraps and leftovers that crafters accumulate, thereby putting all those odds and ends to perfect use. There is a wide range of techniques from simple machine piecing to more complex crazy patchwork. The book includes pieces of seven different printed fabrics and instructions to create either a calico bag or cushion.
