Synopsis

Quilts have never simply been bedcovers. Although they were originally a way of keeping warm, they were also invested with very special memories for both the maker and the user, and became treasured items to pass on from generation to generation. In addition to its interesting history, the art of quiltmaking is as lively and innovative today as it has ever been, and it has evolved into an artform the book is written by two of australia's best known and most admired quilt- makers. Their work is sophisticated, highly original and shows a brilliant and subtle sense of colour. The book covers the practical aspects of quilt- making in detail, and the authors' approach is as fresh and original as their designs. They dispel many of the conventions and myths of making a quilt, and stress that quilters should value their own ideas, and suggest ways to approach design and colour.
