Description
A pick-your-own-style quilt book featuring 30+ quilt blocks, 8 quilt top layout formulas, and all the math done for you so you can focus on creating your own design!
In this design-it-yourself quilt book, the quilter is in the driver's seat, empowering you to decide what size, layout, and combinations of blocks you want to use to create your own one-of-a-kind quilt. Unlike a traditional book of quilt patterns, this book does not prescribe a design. Instead, Quilting Adventures gives you a range of block options that all work together so that you can pick and choose and mix and match those blocks to create your own unique design. The book encourages and supports you, the quilter, as you explore designing your own pattern, providing all the tedious legwork (a.k.a. the math) so that you can focus on creating a final design that is all your own. In addition there will also be a suite of pre-designed patterns as inspiration for anyone who prefers a little extra structure to start.
Quilting Adventures includes:
* 30+ modern quilt block designs
* 8 quilt top layout formulas
* 9 patterns that you can follow or use to help inspire your own design
* All the math & worksheets you need to get started
* Instructions that are easy to follow for beginners and advanced beginners
Whether you're a beginning quilter or an experienced maker looking for a fun, new challenge, Quilting Adventures will give you the confidence to create beautiful, modern quilts that are uniquely your own.

Reviews
"Amanda shares her journey into quilting and some of her challenges, which will connect with the reader. This book is ideal and should be used as a part of your process because it provides all that you need to create your quilt."
-Vernita Naylor for Readers' Favorite
"Quilting Adventures is not your average quilt block book. Amanda provides readers with the creative freedom and confidence to think outside of the block (pun intended), and design and make their own, one-of-a-kind quilt top compositions. The clear, step-by-step instructions and quilt math all worked out makes this the perfect book for those that are feeling adventurous and thinking of dipping their toes into quilt design, and for seasoned quilters and designers that want to put something unique effortlessly."
