Fat quarter quilt patterns have provided quilters with designs of all kinds. Nothing's better than having a brand new fabric collection that inspires you to start up your sewing machine. Quilting with Fat Quarters: 17 New Patterns from the Staff at That Patchwork Place makes for the perfect companion when you're ready to get started. No two patterns in this book are alike, meaning you'll have a series of new quilt patterns at your fingertips to keep you busy year round.


Quilting with Fat Quarters invites readers to dive right into these amazing patterns. While some books prefer to include an introduction to quilting techniques, readers will be able to focus more specifically on ones used in the fat quarter quilt patterns themselves. Each pattern comes with a specific list of materials, cutting measurements, and quilting methods you'll be using. There are also plenty of illustrations and tips to make sure you can make the most beautiful quilt pattern possible and get the best out of your fabrics.
 

What makes this a book any fat quarter fanatic will love is the variety. It seems impossible to count the different number of quilt blocks and applique designs used in it. Each pattern is done by a different designer who brings an original perspective and kind of inspiration to the pattern (which is also included). While new fat quarter quilt patterns are already a big benefit to quilters looking for new challenges, you'll also find this book to be particularly encouraging when it comes to learning how to interpret the world around you through your color schemes and pattern choices. Bring your love for the outdoors, vintage items, or a memorable image into your quilting in ways you may have never thought to.
