A modern slant on stripes. Discover 12 projects that use bold striped patterns. Find colour options and 3 sizes for each project. The projects are equally divided into easy, intermediate and advanced. The book includes information on working with stripes and takes a creative approach to design. Includes tips for using stripes, cutting on the bias, matching seams and more. For each project you will clearly see the materials needed, cutting, construction and alternate colourways. Great attention to detail, easy-to-follow instructions and excellent photos throughout. My favourite is the Modern American quilt.
