Rose Hughes presents readers with a technique for moving beyond squares and blocks and into creating wonderful landscape quilts. Using her simple Fast-Piece Appliqu????? technique and straight-stitch piecing, readers can produce shapes that they might not attempt otherwise.
Dream Landscapes includes step-by-step instructions for the Fast-Piece Appliqu?? technique, as well as for couching yarns and how to stitch and bead by machine and by hand. Hughes provides five quilt projects that build upon the basics of her technique, a gallery of her and her students??? art, and guidance and ideas to add excitement to your quilts.
