About this title

Review:

Issue 42 For those of you who are potty about ceramics, and in particular Delftware, then this book of beautiful blue and white applique designs is the one for you. Judy first explains the technique of reverse or recessed applique and goes on to give step-by-step instructions for making her full size blue and white quilt "Deft Delft". She also provides instructions for a smaller quilt in softer pastel shades. 196 applique block patterns are provided so if yu choose to make a small quilt then you'll have the hard task of choosing which block designs to use. I am in no doubt that you will be inspired to make your own unique quilt and will most probably find yourself drawing your own designs - it is surprising how good some simple designs look when using just blue and white fabrics. * Fabrications *
