Review on 🧡 Fat Quarter Winners: 11 Fresh Quilt Projects by Open Gate (Quiltmaker's Club) by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of my favorite quilt books!

Here's what to say about this book: -- There are eleven beautiful quilts that can be made in different sizes. While most of us would happily buy a book with three or four quilts that we'd like to add to our to-do list, this book contains eleven quilts that I absolutely love and want to make. The book is called "Fat Quarter Winners" and the footage requirements are stated in terms of fat quarters, editing instructions have been written to make them ideal for fat quarters, fat eights and leftovers from your stash. But if you buy and use thick quarters, the use of fabric will be efficient, and if there are no serious mistakes on the part of the "operator", you will not have a shortage. to modern, from funky to retro. Monique's quilt patterns provide many ideas about the versatility of "patchwork quilts" including single color two color quilts, three color quilts and multi color palettes where the only thing to consider is "lighter" and "darker". These patchwork quilts are suitable for bundles of chunky quarters from individual collections, as well as handpicked collections of chunky quarters or leftovers. The sewing methods are tried and true and were developed by Monique while teaching at a quilt shop. . That shows experience. At the moment everyone and her sister are in the patchwork business, making charts and books. Very few of them have any experience of actually teaching in the classroom or writing patterns. While the process isn't exactly rocket science, technical writing isn't that simple, and teaching quilting classes is one of the best ways to learn what works and what doesn't. 't. Monique's methods work, and they work for everyone, regardless of skill level. The Monique method of making flying geese and squares in a square is considered by many quilters to be the best method EVER. While the Fit to be Geese method requires the purchase of a ruler, it will undoubtedly prove to be the best money a quilter has ever spent. Fast, easy and reliable - geese are perfect. PERFECT This is no exaggeration. Using Monique's techniques, the quilts in this book are EASY and instantly cozy. What's nicer than something that looks heavier than it actually is? What's missing in this book: only eleven quilts? The book is too short! What will I do when I have finished all the quilts in this book? (Five down, six left.) Do I think this book is worth buying? Absolutely!

Pros
