Industry Reviews

Wolfe (15 Minutes of Play) introduces quilters to five "parlor tricks" intended to expand their repertoire as well as build confidence with difficult techniques such as partial seams and Y-seams. Each "trick" begins with an overview of the technique, as well as examples from the author's collection and a small practice project such as a pillow cover or a miniquilt. A series of larger quilts exploring the technique follows. Most of the quilts include cutting instructions for a variety of sizes ranging from crib to king, and all include thorough instructions for piecing. VERDICT Wolfe is known for her remarkably intricate piecing, and this book helps intermediate and advanced quilters achieve a similar effect. Those who follow her advice will find themselves taking exciting risks with both color and piecing.-- "Quilts and More, Spring 2018"
