Book Information

This book takes the patchwork route. Designs can be geometric or, if you prefer they can be created with a softer, more realistic look. Instructions for piecing cover both styles or a combination. These flowers can also be worked very effectively using other techniques, such as quilting, fabric embellishment, stenciling, stained glass and trapunto. Several techniques can also be combined within the same item.

Paradise Flowers are easily drafted, requiring no special artistic expertise for success. They can be used in a variety of ways to create quilts of any size, depending on the level of commitment and time. Any item can be easily assembling using basic sewing skills.
