String Quilts: 11 Fun Patterns for Innovating and Renovating

Award-winning quilt maker Elsie Campbell loves to take homemade fabric yardage and turn it into stunning, pieced string quilts, whose leftover yardage can then spawn appliqu d sister quilts. After selling more than 10,000 copies, this beautiful book lapsed out of print. It is now available again, with a brand new pattern!

String Quilts is one part innovation, one part thrift, and a whole lot of fun. When author and educator Elsie M. Campbell needs a break from creating precision-pieced and -appliqu d beauties, she turns to making string quilts. This is my playtime, she says.

The eleven quilts perfect for any skill level are shown in brilliant full-color photography with easy-to-follow instructions, patterns, and diagrams. Also included are Elsie's Top Tips for Successful String Quilts and a full-color gallery of twelve additional quilts by Campbell and other playful quilters, all demonstrating the range and charm of string quilts.
