The Patchwork Planner: 350 Original Designs for Traditional Patchwork

Ranging from delicate styles to bold and striking designs, this book presents 350 ideas for wallhangings, full-size quilts or cushions. Each one is built from a few basic squares - often just one or two - so that even the most intricate patterns are simple to make. All squares are shown in line drawings which can easily be enlarged for the cutting of templates, and the designs are presented in a way which enables the finished patchwork to be visualized and the effects of different colour-ways to be seen. The book has been prepared with the aid of a specially-devised computer program which has enabled the author to explore designs in a comprehensive way and select only the best.
