These dramatic quilting patterns are shown on solid coloured
fabric. The emphasis is on the designs, the thread colour is
closely matched to the fabric. Adding texture with quilting makes
un-quilted areas pop out, larger scale designs become the
foreground, dense quilting becomes the background. Many examples
give two photos, the first is simpler than the second. The
difference is explained, and shown clearly, with diagrams
indicating the direction of the stitching. Quilting using a grid,
dividing the quilt into sections with a walking foot, before adding
patterns is explained well. It is important to sketch the designs
first so one looks ahead when quilting. An excellent guide to
quilting for a confident quilter. It is my Book of the Month.
