Synopsis:

Whether it's a Boston Commons, Trip Around the World, Nine Patch, or Irish Chain, best-selling author Blanche Young and her daughter Dalene Young Stone show you how to give your favorite traditional quilt a new twist through the creative use of fabric. This delightful book has over 26 projects showing new streamlined construction techniques utilizing the rotary cutter and your sewing machine. The older methods are still valid, but the new techniques presented in this book were developed to use with the tools available to us today.
