Simple, sophisticated quilts sewn "by the block."

Today's quilters have many demands on their time but still want to create beautiful quilts.By the Block shows the time-poor quilter how to make sophisticated, complex-looking quilts that are based on easy-to-assemble quilt blocks. The 18 quilts in the book feature modern fabric choices and clever design, but all use standard quilting techniques that are in virtually every quilter's skill set.

Author Siobhan Rogers has designed quilts ranging from crib- to king-size for beds as well as several large projects suitable for hanging. Four of the quilts have colorway variations that show the versatility of the basic design. The book is organized according to technique such as log cabins, half-square triangles, or curved piecing, but each project offers a new twist on the traditional methods of piecing and constructing quilts. Some of the quilt blocks are oversized, which help the quilter work efficiently, and the author offers additional timesaving tips.

Industry Reviews

"The quilts included (in By the Block) are all suitable for those of us that need something simple to work on but have high standards.... All the designs are striking with a good mix of traditional and modern and some retro in-between. The added bonus is that if it looks fabulous but its construction fits into a busy life." --Workshop on the Web
