The terrific news is that the method is fairly straightforward–only some fiddly cutting if your design is intricate. Anna prvoides clear instructions for each step involved as well as patterns for 14 projects, graded from easiest to more challenging. The book also includes photographs of more gorgeous quilts to serve as inspiration–and before you know it, you'll be able to move to drawing your own designs: think Zentangling, for starters, clip art and variations of traditional patchwork patterns. Anna even shows how to make these quilts using personal photographs: you'll be able to immortalise your loved ones in glorious fabric art!
