Squaring Up

I have not written
a book summarizing my experiences with
machine quilting, but there are several really
good books on
the market. For quilting techniques,
I recommend Machine
Quilting Made Easy by Maurine Noble. It is published
by That
Patchwork Place in their Joy of Quilting series and, at $12.95,
it is a great reference and quite a bargain!
One of the most inspirational quilting books I have is "Quilting
Makes the Quilt" by Lee
Cleland ( That Patchwork Place,
$24.95). In this book, the author pieces several quilt
tops and
quilts each differently. It is just amazing how distinct each
quilt
looks, even though they are all identical in design and fabric.
Another good book for design ideas is "Quilt It"
by Barbara
Chainey ( That Patchwork Place, $29.95). Most
of the book
consists of line drawings of quilt blocks and many ways to quilt
them. There are also sections
pertaining to two-block and
four-block repeats and ways to emphasize the quilting
of this
type of quilt.
If you have other questions about this episode,
please send
me an e-mail. If I
get a few questions on the same topic, I will
add it to this section.
