it more portable and meaning you can patchwork on the go.

Through a series of 'bitesize' lessons, you will be taken through the
process of making your quilt chronologically, so you not only
understand the order in which to craft your quilt, but you build up
your skills as your progress through the book.

sew your patches together in a variety of ways, and then get stuck in
making the 27 blocks!

Templates for creating the shaped blocks are included at the back of
the book.

Once your blocks are ready to go, Carolyn shows you how to quilt them,
using a combination of hand stitching and big-stitch quilting.
