A companion volume to our bestselling Japanese Quilt Blocks,
this book focuses on using the traditional Japanese neutral and taupe
colours which are so much a part of the Japanese aesthetic and are so
popular today. As in the first book, the author shows the reader
how to design quilts using styles and colours to create beautiful,
Japanese-style quilts. The book covers materials, colour and
patterns and then moves on to equipment and techniques such as piecing
by machine, part-sewn seams, half squares and corner squares, applique
methods and finishing - embroidery and embellishments as well as
joining blocks and finally assembling. The book is very different
from the first volume in that it uses a completely different range of
colours and provides the reader with 125 new patterns.
