Merging two traditional blocks gave Carl the dynamic design result he sought. Combining Rail Fence with Lemoyne Star yielded his Stars 'N Strips block, and elevated his quilts into national competition. Just vary the number of fabrics used or change their placement to create a limitless number of blocks. Several sized blocks are shown, along with two variations. 10 projects get the reader started. Only a few simple tools are needed to create outstanding quilts. This book is perfect for the confident beginner and will satisfy the desire to grow for intermediate and advanced stitchers.
