In "Quilt Yourself Gorgeous", Mandy Shaw shares her fresh approach to quilting with an emphasis on fun, fast results, and fabulous quilts! This title includes full step-by-step instructions that guide you through 10 brilliant projects that have plenty of wow factor, but won't take a lifetime to complete. All the projects can be made using fat quarters and when the main project is finished, Mandy shows you how to use the remaining scraps of fabric to sew delightful accessories, toys, home decor items and gifts. With a clear and comprehensive section covering techniques, tips and templates, this is a book for quilters and sewing enthusiasts to dip into again and again.
