By The Bundle: Turn Precuts Into Patchwork With 12 Fat Quarter Friendly Quilts

Description

No quilter can resist a stack of beautifully co-ordinated fabrics all neatly folded into a bundle and tied with a bow. As more fabric stores specialise in combining and marketing their own custom bundles of fat quarters, it leaves many quilters with just a 'taste' of many fabrics in the form of these 18 x 22" cuts (called fat quarters) but not really enough to make an entire quilt out of. Emma, a former fabric shop owner in Australia herself, inspires quilters to create one of her 12 quilts specifically designed to showcase these fabulous cuts whether they are from a single fabric collection or a complementary combination of many fabric lines. Emma's patterns cross over beautifully between the modern and the new traditional quilt maker alike.
