18 scrap-busting quilts & accessories to make that won't hurt
the planet Many quilters are rediscovering a range of traditional
patchwork and quilting techniques that, at their heart, are based
on recycling and reusing materials. A style of patchwork that is
true to this ethos, and which has been around for centuries, is
string patchwork with its use of sewn fabric strips. Â Due to
the scrap nature of string quilts, they are good for using a wide
range and eclectic mix of fabrics that, otherwise, would have
gathered dust in the corner of a room. Best-selling author, teacher
and quilter Carolyn Forster will show you how to transform old
clothes and bedding, off-cuts and once-loved furnishing fabrics
into 10 beautiful string patchwork quilts All the quilts feature
traditional blocks, so you can see how easy it is to create your
favorite designs with an array of scraps. Carolyn has alo included
8 little gifts and accessories to make with the leftovers from your
quilt-making (!), so that nothing goes to waste – from a needle
case and a quilt-notions pouch to a table runner and duffel bag. A
small section on all the materials and notions to get started, plus
an invaluable techniques chapter Quilters will have everything they
need to create planet-conscious quilts, and in the process
celebrate old quilt and patchwork methods from quilters of yore.
