Ready, Set, Quilt provides new quilters with 20 easy accessories and home accents to make by hand or machine. The early chapters teach the basics of hand- and machine-quilting techniques and introduce all the essential tools and materials. Later chapters give a new twist to the traditional quilting techniques of patchwork, appliqué, and whole-cloth stitching. Readers will be inspired by what they can create with just a little imagination and a few, simple, fabric shapes. Projects include coverlets, pillows, wallhangings—and even an appliquéd nightshirt and blue-jean jacket.
