  Traditionally quilts were made as a warm covering for beds: often thrift dictated that they were made from recycled fabrics sandwiched with a worn blanket but they were always made attractive with loving stitchwork. This new collection carries on the tradition using many favourite classic patterns but brings them up-to-date with fantastic fabrics and short-cut methods. The end result is the same: beautiful bed coverings providing both warmth and a wonderful display of the stitcher's skills. Here are small floral fabrics for country cottages alongside bold plain colours to enhance contemporary room colour schemes: quilts to showcase fabulous fabrics or patterns to blend in with a low-key room decor. The quilt patterns cover a range of sizes for twin, queen and king size beds. These lovely designs are quick to make but will provide warmth and comfort for many years.

  Following the highly successful formula of previous books, such as Quick Quilts and The Weekend Quilter, here is an entirely new collection of patchwork quilts from a team of experienced quiltmakers. Divided into three sections, the quilts show fantastic colour combinations, all of which will add sparkle to the home. In the first section this is acheived with colourways in pastel fabrics, the second contains quilts with strong, bold colours and the final section brings together bright fabrics and patterns. The techniques cover patchwork and applique, strip piecing, hand tying and machine quilting. Each design comes with full instructions backed up by close-up photographs and diagrams. Shortcuts, such as rotary cutting and chain piecing are used throughout. The quilts range from wallhangings to throws to bedcovers: a stunning new collection to be made quickly and enjoyed for a long time to come.
