Summary

Ideal for beginners, foundation piecing is a simple method that entails sewing fabric pieces to a foundation, such as paper or fabric, in a numerical sequence. By following the step-by-step instructions included here, even a complete novice will be able to create any of dozens of beautiful quilt blocks that are shown in thirteen different quilts, including "Down by the Pond, " "Up North, " and "Calico Country." Glorious full-color photographs illustrate a number of project possibilities, but the blocks can also be used to make quilts, bags, vests, pillows, and whatever else your imagination can dream up.
