Japanese Quilt Blocks to Mix & Match Japanese Quilt Blocks to Mix & Match

Susan Briscoe is the author of this beautiful book. Inside you'll find over 125 patchwork, applique and sashiko designs -- all organized into themed sections based on geometric, pictorial and family crest designs. All the techniques you will need are clearly demonstrated.

Each design features a photograph, clear instructional diagram or template, fabric palette and cutting guide, and instructions for making the block.

All of the blocks can be mixed and matched, and you'll find examples of fail-safe combinations for stylish quilts, from tesselated all-over patterns to spectacular sampler quilts.
