The Art of Mixing Textiles in Quilts: 14 Projects Using Wool, Silk, Cotton & Home Decor Fabrics by Lynn Schmitt

Have a ball blending cottons with rich wools, lustrous silks, and textural home decor fabrics for quilts that beg to be touched. Weave unconventional textiles together like a pro with the best advice for cutting, sewing, and pressing fabrics of texture and sheen.

Dimensional and exciting, mixed-fabric quilts are ripe for using up scraps and expanding your horizons.

The Art of Mixing Textiles in Quilts Reviews

A sumptuous cover with the subtitle 'using wool, silk, cotton and home decor fabrics' so this is textiles as in fabrics, not techniques. There are 14 fabulously coloured and exciting projects in this book, including pin cushion, bolster pillow, throw, table runner, needle case, tote, wallhanging and quilts. You'll discover fabric guidelines, how-to's on wool applique, double-fold binding, embroidery and favourite tools of the trade. The projects show the materials, block size, construction, methods, assembly, templates and finishing. The projects explore a wide variety of piecing and applique techniques. Lynn encourages you to engage in quilting with a free spirit, a willingness to embrace eclectic fabrics and come up with something a little bit different. This is a book that really appeals to the designer in me.
