You will find directions for nine quilts alongside 11 gift projects, including wrapping cloths, a Japanese knot bag, a pillow cover and coasters. A comprehensive techniques section introduces suitable materials and fabrics, the stitches and methods used, and how to assemble and finish quilts, making it a useful resource for anyone interested in big-stitch hand quilting.
