Use color, pattern, and repetition to develop your personal design aesthetic as you stitch freely to create unique quilts that pack a punch!

• Piece new prints and patterns out of solid fabrics and use them to create original, dynamic quilt designs
• Empower your creativity! Work freely without preconceived ideas
• Join author Maria Shell in a step-by-step journey of artistic discovery with this fascinating visual guide
