Product info
These beautiful pieces have a stained-glass look, but lighter and airier. Construction-wise, instead of leading applied over the raw edges of the shapes, these shapes are finished with turned edges, and the background is left exposed to create the spaces between shapes. Tile Quilt Revival: Reinventing a Forgotten Form is Carol and Bobbi's fascinating, educational, and inviting book that reintroduces this unique and somewhat obscure form of applique quilt. Tile quilts are explained this way: Traditional tile quilts. are constructed with small pieces of cotton fabric appliqued in a random manner to a white background, leaving a narrow space between the pieces; this white space serves as the grout between the tiles or mortar between the pavers or stones. The books starts out with a brief history of tile quilts, with great photos showing examples from the past. Then comes a section on how to make a tile quilt, reinterpreted for today. When I read the following, the heavens opened up and I heard the heavenly choir! The tile quilt technique, with its large and simple shapes, creates an ideal showcase for bold, contemporary fabrics. Interesting, large-scale prints are will suited for the tile pieces. If you've ever found yourself admiring some of the daring prints now available but wondering how to use them, a tile quilt is an idea project for putting them to good use. Hallelujah! I have a tub of fabrics in my stash labeled Modern that has been. well. sitting there. Now my daring prints have a destiny! The techniques used in the book are so simple they're ingenious! No need to consider seam allowances, to reverse patterns, or to figure out where to place the pieces. Another really great thing about this book is that it has fantastic applique instructions.--.
