Sew One and You’re Done by Evelyn Sloppy shows how to make quilts from only one block. She designed these quilts to make charity quilts ranging in size from 45″ square to 56″ square. She also shows how you can make larger quilts by using multiple blocks and additional borders.
The blocks themselves have more pieces than we usually think of as one quilt block. The pieces are larger than usual so they would make a good showcase for an interesting, larger print focus fabric. Photos of quilters holding the quilts in the Introduction section give a good idea of the quilt size, and they show why you may want to use a larger print focus fabric. You could make some very cute baby quilts with these patterns.
Sew One and You’re Done is published by That Patchwork Place ($24.95). The directions are in the clear and easy-to-follow format in other books by That Patchwork Place. The directions include a list of the materials needed, a chart for cutting pieces, step-by-step assembly directions, and many sketches showing piecing and pressing.
Sew One and You’re Done is available from the Person Who Has Quilting Book Issues. Let me know if you want to borrow it.
The Person Who Has Two Baby Quilts to Make would like to borrow Sew One and You’re Done from the Person Who Has Quilting Book Issues while she is at the Cute Little House for the Thanksgiving festivities. (And this comment should be obscure enough to confuse our wide circle of avid readers.)
I don’t know anyone who has Quilting Book Issues. 🙂
Good point, Cathy. That would be like having Fabric Acquisition Issues, which is clearly an oxymoron.
