Easy Japanese Quilt Style
Author(s): Julia Davis
"Easy Japanese Quilt Style" is the perfect book for quilters of all abilities who want to introduce Japanese style into their homes with ingenious quick-to-stitch projects. Anyone who loves beautiful Japanese fabrics will have plenty of excuses to indulge, with 10 projects, ranging from bags to wall hangings, plus several variations. The projects evoke the simplicity of traditional Japanese decor by using well-known pieced patterns, such as fan blocks and strip quilts, together with charming applique. Easy-to-follow step instructions and diagrams offer clever ways to use panels and large-scale patterns to best effect, with helpful advice on fabric choice throughout.
