Cultural Fusion Quilts Blog Tour! ((Give-Away!))

Hey everyone!

I am participating in  Sujata Shah’s Cultural Fusion Quilts Blog Tour!

This post is going out a bit late, because – well. I thought TOMORROW was my day, and I screwed up on Facebook by mentioning that the mystery clue goes live tomorrow, but it’s only Wednesday, and I am all kinds of screwed around!

SO…It’s all fun as long as we keep it fun, and I apologize to anyone who followed the link to the tour to not find my post live yet!

Let’s talk about things I love about this book.

COLOR!  And free form design!

As I just told Sujata this morning as our emails were flying back and forth:

"I love your book..it's exciting, and vibrant and makes me want to get in there and SEW!"

Let's look at these fabulous quilts!  You are in for a treat!

I love Sujata’s use of color and free form piecing!

One of the things I love about working free-form is that nobody's quilts will EVER turn out the same.  They are all different just as we are all different, but there is a connection!  I love how this quilt looks like a typical birds in the air block at first, but you see it change and evolve into something else, something free and easy and whimsical!

Bold, vibrant, striking—and amazingly easy to make! This collection of 15 modern quilts draws on handmade crafts from India, the American South, and Africa to create a style that’s at once traditional and contemporary, artistic and practical.

A simple stack, cut, shuffle, and stitch technique makes the sewing fun for quilters of any level, and also makes every quilt a one-of-a-kind creation.

No two are ever alike! The author provides alternate settings, plus an inspiring photo gallery of the crafts that shaped her style.

I love the curvy improv wonkiness of this quilt…my eyes can’t stop traveling over it!

Use these projects to enrich your quilting by bringing in textures, patterns, and colors from around the world.
