  Alongside the great popularity of machine-stitched patchwork quilts, there is an increasing trend amongst quilters for designs which feature an element of surface embellishment, whether by hand or machine. The twelve quilts in this highly decorative collection show a fantastic range of simple ways to enhance the basic patchwork patterns. Buttons and beads are used as a quick and delightful way of tying the quilted layers together, simple hand and machine embroidery decorates crazy patchwork and the latest ideas featuring everything from transferring photographic images to flower crushing are used to make stunning, eye-catching quilts. These extra details enhance and embellish the rich and colourful fabrics to produce marvellously decorative pieces to take pride of place in the home.
