Miss Rose's Spice of Life Quilts


Miss Rose's Spice of Life Quilts
by Carrie Nelson [746.46 qNel]

Thirteen quilt patterns using favorite blocks - Sawtooth Star, Log Cabin, Flying Geese, Hour Glass, Four Patch, Ohio Star, a House block, Bear Paw - combined together to appear intricate but are actually not. She uses strip sets and a neat, quick, cheater method for making Flying Geese. Fabrics shown are current and colorful but not blinding. Each chapter begins with her explanation of how she came about to make that particular quilt. The usual General Instructions on quilt-making are included. If nothing else you'll love browsing through the photos. Recommended for those who especially like the traditional patterns in soothing colors using cotton fabrics - no geometrics, batiks, or loud colors here. -- recommended by Charlotte K. - Bennett Martin Public Library
