Mini Masterpieces - Alyce Blyth

Learn how to quilt! A workbook of 12 essential blocks & techniques.

Beginners welcome! Create twelve different designs, one workshop at a time, and learn the essential patchwork techniques you will need to create a modern mini quilt that is at home in any room of the house. Packed with easy-to-follow instructions, step-by-step illustrations, and plenty of tips to help you along the way, we'll start Lesson 1 with a practice square (or quilt block) using nine squares. Make as many as you like until you have mastered the block, then move on to finish a small quilt (a mini!) in each chapter. Carry on each Lesson stitching up the practice block first, then the mini, gradually expanding your skills with each turn of the page. Combine your beautiful practice blocks into a larger sample quilt at the end. Love one block design? Keep repeating it until you have enough to make a quilt the size you lie or make a favorite mini gift or to swap. Because completing each Lesson results in beautiful minis you can display right away, you'll be creating your next patchwork masterpiece in no time.
