The striking and graphic pieces in this book combine aspects
of traditional and contemporary quilting to create
pieces that are both functional and artistic.
Some of the unconventional designs include a folk art wall hanging, a martini-inspired throw made of sandwashed silks, and a crib quilt created with layers of muslin that are cut through and tumbled in the dryer to create a chenille-like texture. Each quilt is from a different designer, resulting in a variety of materials and constructional approaches. Some of the projects focus on threadwork, while others take advantage of unusual piecing techniques; therefore, whatever your art quilting interests, this book will show you how to employ them to create pieces that are fresh and fun to make.
