Picture Patchwork: 15 Charted Patterns for Novelty Quilts

Quilters are forever looking for dynamic designs, especially ones that are both simple and eye-catching. All 15 featured Picture Patchwork designs can be made with simple squares -- the most basic shape of all, but the author has added some additional touches (optional) with the nine-patch, half-squares, and sawtooth, plus a few appliqué flourishes. In creating these novelty quilts, Jo Ann took her inspiration from cross-stitch graphs using a pixelated approach, which follows charts for color and placement. These are ideal for using pre-cuts (charms and mini-charms) as well as stash fabrics, and nothing will keep quilters of all skill levels from tackling any of the designs. They can even sprinkle in some of their own creativity if desired. Depending on the fabric a quilter chooses these charted designs can take on a modern spin or be utterly traditional. Picture Patchwork will have you looking at the endless supply of cross-stitch grids through a quilter's eye and serves as a self-purchase or gift title for all levels of quilting enthusiasts.
