Editorial Reviews

Angela Walters is undoubtedly the free-motion quilting queen. If you don’t have the first book, I suggest you get it. In this follow-on title, there are more than 70 designs for quilting blocks, backgrounds and borders. All shapes and fillers are included. Basic shape quilting is lifted and enhanced with free-motion stitching with plenty of designs to choose from. You’ll also find design tips and variations to help you quilt any shape. This book is full of examples in colour and line drawings and is well-designed. It will make you think again about the beauty of free-motion machine quilting. Highly recommended.
