Quiltmaking, patchwork & applique

Calling all fabric lovers! Author, Amy Friend, shows you how to ensure the perfect fabric cuts to achieve fussy-cutting glory. Piecing with intention is all about taking the time to think about how the cut of your fabric will end up appearing in your quilt top or project once the piecing is complete. In each of Amy's 7 quilts and 5 small projects, she takes you beyond just simple fussy cutting and shows you how to work with all of those selvages you have been hoarding, how to work with stripes effectively and how to efficiently cut directional fabrics to yield the perfect focus in your piecing. From pin trays, to bags, to quilts and even embellishing garments, Amy covers traditional piecing, applique and, her favorite, foundation piecing. Use Amy's inspiration to create 12 projects that focus on the beautiful details each of your favorite fabrics has to offer.

Reviews for Intentional Piecing: From Fussy Cutting to Foundation Piecing

Position, position, position - fussy cutting mindfulness leads to quilting with interesting motifs. Choosing fabric is paramount and you can follow Amy's questions to ensure you select the best fabric for the job. Sew a variety of projects given in the book to practice Amy's piecing techniques. The projects are useful and interesting. I particularly like the 'My Tribe' quilt but there are also bags, pillows, an applique cardigan and more to make. Templates are given at the back of the book, but are nor full-size, so you will need to enlarge. * Karen Platt -yarnsandfabrics.co.uk * We live for fabric so we want to do each of our prints justice when we use them in projects. Amy Friend's new book, Intentional Piecing, is focused solely on making those designs really shine. From fussy cutting to FPP, she takes us through the best techniques for each kind of fabric, teaching mindful project planning and best print picking practice. * Love Patchwork and Quilting *
