Synopsis

Jinzenji's richly minimalist Japanese quilts are as influential as the antique Amish and Mennonite quilts that also inspired her. This work presents her finest creations in 100 colour photographs, with detailed patterns and instructions for all. In addition to the full-size quilts, Jinzenji shows how to make quilted pillows, clutch purses, necklaces, decorative "objets", table mats, miniature mandalas, and even a hammock. Dyeing techniques, fabric types - everything anyone with an interest in textiles or design would want to know - is fully explained in this book.
