Quilt outside of your comfort zone! This must-have project book is designed to build your confidence as a dedicated or intermediate quilter and will inspire you to transfer your traditional blocks to beautiful modern quilts. Including step-by-step projects that combine fabrics from different lines and genres with clear guidelines to encourage mixing and matching, you'll no longer fear the play between fabrics and colors! For each pattern, there are four sidebar features to experiment with; Leap of Faith suggestions, Confidence Booster tips, alternative digital colorations, and Fearless Takeaways lists. From incorporating negative space to manipulating traditional blocks into modern settings, gain the skills to confidently choose, improvise, and embrace your own sense of style to apply to future projects. Written by an Aurifil designer, Sarah J. Maxwell is the perfect teacher to help you reach your fullest quilting potential! She is also a fabric and pattern designer for Studio 37 Fabrics with countless quilts to her credit. Her work is regularly featured in both McCall's Quilting and McCall's Quick Quilts for the past several years, as well as Make Modern, Simply Moderne, American Patchwork & Quilting, Quilts & More, and many other magazines.
