Creative Triangles for Quilters, A new angle on traditional quilts (BK2022)

Description: Creative Triangles for Quilters, Janet B. Elwin (BK2022). A new angle on traditional quilts. One result of the quilting renaissance is a new look at all angles of this immensely popular craft: Must we use only 100% cotton if we're making wall hangings? Must we hand-quilt? Must our quilts be squares and rectangles? Well-known quilting authority Janet Elwin takes an even more drastic angle - 60 degrees! Instead of using squares and rectangles in pieced patterns, she has developed an easy yet complicated-looking way to use 60 degree triangles in traditional designs. First you will learn how to draft and piece the basic triangle quilts in rows, so that you don't hae to worry about set-in points. Then, in nine mind-expanding chapters, you will explore how to translate traditional motifs like trees, flowers, fans, and baskets into stunning quilts made of simple triangles. Janet traces her inspiration for each quilt and shows how she thought through the color. Then she gives complete step-by-step instructions for 19 quilts, such as all-pieced fans and Dresden plates, curves, and fractured triangles. You'll also learn how to make Dune points and a gorgeous three dimensional lily. In the process, Janet shows how blening small amounts of color using many fabrics, just as the impressionists did with paint, gives a far more intriguing look to a quilt. Dazzle your friends by working with creative triangles - easy to work with, beautiful to see, and far more complicated-looking than they are to piece.
