Discover the joy and serenity of slow stitching with hand piecing and hand quilting! With one quilt made up of 21 blocks, master teacher Carolyn Forster takes readers on a quilt making journey that begins with the basics and progresses to more intricate techniques with each new block. Providing templates for every design and step-by-step instructions and photographs, thoroughly practice hand stitching and hand quilting blocks, from stitching set-in seams to stitching curves. The Handmade Quilt provides both a complete learning experience for new quilters and a stunning project for experienced stitchers. You’ll be amazed by the finished project; an heirloom-quality quilt that’s a beautiful sampler of stash-busting blocks!
