Bethan Ash's rich, colourful quilts are created using
improvisational collage techniques. Working instinctively, she
simply layers fabric shapes onto a prepared background and fuses
them down, then adds stitching later. Each quilt is cut freehand,
without the use of rulers or templates. In this groundbreaking
book, she reveals the secrets of how she works, from basic dyeing
and fusing techniques to design- and colour-awareness exercises and
mixed-media experiments. In clear, easy-to-follow text, she gives
the reader invaluable information on method, materials, technique
and composition, and shows that improvisational quiltmaking is not
merely 'messing about with fabric', but instead can form the basis
of working freely and is the optimal way of broadening the reader's
artistic talent.Illustrated with the best examples of fused quilts
from around the world, this book is a visual feast of colour and
pattern, and allows the reader to discover how the boundaries of
traditional quiltmaking can be expanded through the use of
imagination, inspiration and fusion.
