Piece by piece : 20 modern patchwork and quilting projects to make from preloved fabrics  Cover Image Book Book

Piece by piece : 20 modern patchwork and quilting projects to make from preloved fabrics / Lauren MacDonald.

MacDonald, Lauren, (author.).

Summary:

A homage to tradition with a contemporary aesthetic, Piece by Piece offers heritage quilt patterns in a fresh, modern colour palette. The 20 projects, all designed to be made with second-hand fabrics and scraps from other projects, are simple enough for the beginner and advanced enough to keep experienced makers interested. Each of the three sections -- kids and baby, homewares, and clothing and accessories -- is organised in a skill-building sequence, with smaller, simpler projects at the beginning and more challenging ones towards the end. The step-by-step guides detail how to make a kid's and women's jacket, quilts, cushions and bolsters, a patchwork party hat and teddy bear, and more. Piece by Piece encourages you to repurpose and reuse -- a practice quilters have been following for centuries that now feels both timeless and timely.
