The 13 quilts start with a ready-made precut packs but add extra fabric to make different colour arrangements. Each quilt has alternative fabrics to make a unique color selection. Most of the quilts have traditional repeated blocks but occasional quilts use asymmetrical layouts to create a bold design. Some blocks are made larger than necessary and then cut to size. It is advised to spray starch bias edges before cutting to prevent stretching. The instructions and diagrams are easy to follow. There are ideas for enlarging the quilts with extra borders. A gallery shows the quilts with different colour combinations. British Patchwork and Quilting, December 2015 Smash Your Precut Stash!
