About This Item
From front Dust Jacket flap: "Traditionally recognized as a craft, quiltmaking is today being seen as a new and exciting art form. Whatever the intention of the quiltmaker, the creation of a quilt provides an opportunity to design with color and fabric. While many quilts are still made purely as bed coverings, quilted works may also be made into clothing, or artworks for the wall."
"Piece by Piece is a beautiful and practical introduction to this fascinating art. From the elements of design and color which combine to create different effects with fabric, to basic instructions about how to construct a quilt, the book shows quiltmakers how to experiment with a variety of techniques in order to develop and create their own quilts."
Techniques include: piecing, applique, fabric manipulation - plus: drafting, assembling, quilting and finishing.
Illustrated in full color with the work of Australia's leading quiltmakers and filled with diagrams and instructions.
