Create a quilted chronicle of your many adventures, or stitch an idyllic scene you'd like to see someday. 50 Any-Size Travel Blocks contains patterns for dream destinations and favorite getaways as well as a CD with hundreds of sizing options.

Spanning many countries, 50 Any-Size Travel Blocks was a team effort. Co-authors Rita Weiss and Linda Causee have put their imaginations to design this collection. Weiss is a well-known master of fiber arts, including quilting and has written over 150 books on the subject. Linda Causee is a quilt editor for the Creative Partners publishing company. These two creative minds hold the key to preserving memories in a way that will last a lifetime. 

The patterns in this book are sorted into six categories: USA Treasures, European Adventures, Sky High Buildings, Sacred Places, Ancient Wonders, and Places I've Seen. Wish a family member or friend bon voyage with a lap quilt that features the Eiffel Tower. Celebrate your national pride with a quilted replica of the White House. From the Taj Mahal to the Pantheon to Stonehenge, you can take a trip around the globe without ever leaving your living room. 

50 Any-Size Travel Blocks is your guide to assembling a traveler-approved quilt of foundation-pieced blocks. Stitch a snapshot of iconic buildings from around the world and make a quilt by repeating one block, or pull together a sampler as depicted on the cover. The bonus CD offers patterns in four block sizes, 5, 6, 7 or 8 inch, so each project is the perfect size for you.
