Book Description

Do you love bright, geometric quilt designs but wonder how to get such sharp points and accurate piecing? English paper piecing (EPP) is the answer, and this collection shows you how to sew your own patchwork projects even if you've never made a quilt before.

Jenny Jackson has created this collection of techniques and patterns for modern EPP projects for the home including some really striking, large quilts. There are 18 projects for the home in a variety of sizes so you can build up to a full-sized quilt but you can also dip in and out of some smaller projects such as coasters, wall hangings and cushions while you hone your skills.

The projects include repeats of EPP patterns and blocks as well as how to use EPP blocks and rosettes as appliqué within quilts and other projects. It’s not just about the hexagon either: Jenny’s geometric designs feature 20 different paper pieced templates including diamonds, octagons, and even curved shapes for really exciting results.

The Quilter

English paper piecing (EPP) has enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent years, with some modern quilters discovering and embracing this slower, hand-piecing method. Jenny Jackson is one such maker, describing EPP as her passion. In this book shes given EPP designs a modern makeover, using bold, bright fabrics and a range of unusual shapes to create a variety of projects for todays homes. From small hangings to full-size quilts, cushions and accessories, theres sure to be something for anyone who wants to give EPP a go or improve their skills. And if vibrant colours arent your thing, each project comes with a colouring layout so you can experiment with different palettes before cutting into your precious fabrics.
