This striking collection of colourful crocheted blocks is inspired by patchwork quilt block designs. The inspiration comes directly from the tradition of piecing together scraps of fabric and it also stems from the characteristics and stitches of crocheted pieces.
There are 49 fabulous blocks to make, which echo their stitched counterparts with names such as Flying Geese, Hourglass, Tumbling Blocks and Log Cabin - and all of them can be put together into larger designs. Whether you are building up patterns with leftover yarn or setting out with a specific colour scheme in mind, this is a wonderfully creative process of creating a larger design from lots of smaller units.
There are four beautiful projects to make: a shoulder bag, a baby blanket, a geometric cushion and a beautiful lap blanket. A useful crochet techniques section describes the various stitches used, notes on colourwork and reading patterns and charts, and there is also advice on assembling the blocks and edging them. And, once you've got to grips with all of this, you can use the lovely blocks as inspiration to create your own lovely crocheted block pieces.

There are a lot of great blocks in this book, a few squared circles and some bobbles. They are mostly made using two stitches which makes them great for beginners. For the more experienced crocheter, they might be a bit too basic and similar to each other.
I really like the suggested layout plans with each block and there is also a fold out US to UK stitches conversion chart which is really handy when working.
All in all a really nice book, I'll be making a blanket using the cottage pattern for sure.

Inspired by multicoloured quilting blocks, Leonie has created 49 crocheted patchwork blocks ideal for building up into treasured projects. Designs range from traditional flying geese and log cabins to stripes, steps and a large selection of colourwork designs. We are particularly love the cute cottage square, based on a classic quilting design. There are also triangles, diamonds and hexagonal blocks, and each pattern is written out and charted. The book finishes with four projects: a boho bag, two blankets and a contemporary and colourful cushion design.

If you've always wanted to make a patchwork quilt, but your sewing skills aren't up to scratch, try crochet. This book has over fifty patterns, many based on traditional quilt shapes like tumbling blocks and log cabin. Each one has both a chart and written instructions, and some blocks have layout ideas to help you piece together your final design. The four projects included in the book are two blankets, a cushion and a bag. An ideal starting point for creating your own designs.
