In typical Landauer style, this book is pack full of photographs that walk you through every step of the process. Â There is a reason that they have acquired a reputation for being the best technique publisher in the business! Â They take an expert like Angela, and let her unique color sense and style shine through in every design. Â These quilts make you smile! Â They are just plain happy….
The cover quilt – Simple Delight – features a black and white inner border that is the perfect contrast to the bright fabrics.
Vintage Venetian combines a wide pieced border that is the perfect accent to a beautiful appliqued block. Â It gives it a three-dimensional effect that is striking!
“Fandango” is my choice for the perfect class. Â Here it is shown in bright fabrics, but there is a muted version in the book at well. Â That version is appliqued on a striped background to add even more interest to the piece. Â And, this smaller project includes bias tape, layered appliques, reverse applique, circles, and a curved binding. Â Now that is a productive class!
You will love all ten designs. Â This is one of those books that should be in every quilter’s library – it is THAT good!
