Product Description
Dimensional curved piecing is an innovative process that makes it possible for quilters of all skill levels to do straight-line patchwork piecing with curved results. Learn how to add curves to your quilts the easy way by inserting folded pieces between seams, and gently peeling them back to reveal shaped secondary designs.The author has always been fascinated by curved designs, especially when combined with angular quilt blocks. Her diverse quilt patterns are arranged in order of difficulty, so that quilters are gradually introduced to this new technique. You will be intrigued by bed and wall quilts such as Patriotic Stars, Beaded Primrose, and Enchanted Rose Garden. Annette's techniques require no more than accurate cutting, some folding, and sewing 1/4 inch seams, so anyone can achieve attractive flowing design elements. You will appreciate the author's clear instructions, allowing you to make complicated-looking designs with easy methods. AUTHORBIO: Annette Ornelas was born and raised in Germany. She has always expressed a special interest in art and textiles. In 1991, when her husband was deployed to Desert Storm, Annette decided to enroll in a basic quilting course. Quilting quickly developed into a passion. When her husband, Mike, returned, he was very surprised to find their house was 'quilted over.' Stacks of fabrics and quilts in various stages of completion had moved in and taken over the house.

Reader Reviews
I made a quilt made from the author's pattern at a class for my quilt guild retreat. The technique is not hard the way she describes it. There were some gorgeous ones made. I haven't made anything from the book yet but I hope to do so soon. Comment | | (Report this)
