In A World of Quilts, Cassandra Ellis strips things back to this
basic premise, sharing her love of cloth, colour and creating,
while guiding the reader through the many different types of quilt
they can make and the processes involved. The quilts vary in
difficulty, quilting style, size and fabric choices, covering every
skill needed to make a truly personal quilt. Drawing inspiration
from 25 traditional quilt designs from around the world, Cassandra
Ellis gives each quilt a unique and contemporary spin, whether
that's through a different application of the basic block that
makes up the design or through her combination of fabrics in colour
palettes that appeal to a modern aesthetic. As the fascinating
origin of each design is explored, it soon becomes apparent that
the rich history of quilting in disparate cultures around the world
exhibits a common theme - that of storytelling through the simple
piecing of fabric and the shared process of creating. From English
Piecing to Amish Sawtooth, Pojagi to Drunkard's Path, each of the
stunning quilts is made using a time-honoured technique -
freestyle, blocks, curves, triangles or applique. Cassandra guides
you through every step, with advice on fabric choices, and cutting
and piecing instructions accompanied by an easy-to-follow diagram
and evocative photographs of the finished quilt. With a
comprehensive technical section, 'Quilt Masterclass', A World of
Quilts provides you with all the inspiration, encouragement and
practical skills required to create an heirloom quilt.
