Shizuko Kuroha's Japanese Patchwork Quilting Patterns - Shizuko Kuroha

From Shizuko Kuroha, this paperback quilting book guides readers through an intricate hand-piecework process with step-by-step illustrations and exceptionally clear photos and diagrams. Designed as both a practical reference and a creative springboard, it centres on 19 sampler blocks that can be combined in hundreds of different ways across a wide range of patchwork projects.

A pull-out pattern sheet at the back helps streamline preparation, while detailed instructions show how to incorporate the blocks into projects of different scales. Expect guidance for round and square pincushions, drawstring bags and zippered pouches embellished with patchwork, quilted tote bags and a stylish backpack, plus table runners and wall hangings with colour schemes. The book also covers full-sized quilts intended to become cherished heirlooms, making it a useful introduction for those learning hand-stitched piecework and a rewarding addition for more practised quilters.
