“Carol and Bobbi have done a stunning job of transforming the designs . . . a valuable source of information and inspiration for all quilt lovers.” —Machine Quilting Unlimited

You’ll love these contemporary interpretations of antique quilts from the International Quilt Study Center. Bobbi Finley and Carol Gillham Jones pored through the museum’s collection to find inspiration quilts for their latest project designs, ranging from simply functional to delightfully pictorial. These projects show off a remarkable array of styles, settings, and colorways—each adaptation uniquely mirrors the essential qualities of each quilt. Celebrate our rich quilt heritage by making these projects using various techniques like appliqué or improvisational piecing with traditional blocks. Plus you’ll learn how to approach designing an artistic spin on your own antique treasures.

“As the saying goes, what goes around comes around and we are still drawing inspiration from quilters whether their work is classed as antique or innovative.” —Fabrications Quilting for You
