Discover how to quilt and design with confidence
The Gentle Art of Quilt-Making is a charming, inspirational and practical
collection of 15 quilts for would-be quilters by leading author Jane Brocket.
There’s a Russian Shawl Quilt, inspired by traditional motifs of Russian folk art, a
Floral Frocks Quilt inspired by summer dresses, flower gardens and herbaceous
borders and a Suits and Ties Quilt reusing sober woollen suiting contrasting with
extravagant silk ties designed in an Irish Chain.
Finally, a practical section covers all the knowledge you’ll need – from chainpiecing,
hand-quilting and sandwiching to binding, storage and caring for your
quilt. Armed with the design tools, you can embark on your quilting journey and
begin creating your own personal masterpiece.
