Summary
Well-known quilter Linda Causee has come up with a fresh idea that's smart and fun. These 26 lovely quilts--one for each letter of the alphabet--not only make wonderful projects, they teach too! Every letter stands for a new quilting technique, including A for Applique, F for Foundation Piecing, P for Postage Stamp Quilts, and Z for Zig-Zag. Plus, there's a fascinating history on each quilt, as well as a materials list, instructions for cutting and piecing, and numerous illustrations that provide easy-to-follow guidance. Full-page beauty shots display the completed quilts in all their colorful splendor. Among the unique designs: a quilt created entirely out of borders, a crazy quilt that shows off needlework skills, and a nature-themed Hawaiian quilt.
