Leisure Arts Quick Method Liberty Quilts Paperback American Tradition Quilting "Quick-Method Liberty Quilts" INTRODUCTION "Make quilts -- save the blankets for our boys over there!" was the home-front cry during World War I. And quilters rallied to the cause, dutifully renewing an Early American tradition of patriotic patchwork known as liberty quilts. Such love of country is a trademark of American quilters, who have always found time to create a little comfort, whether for a faraway soldier of for their own pioneer families. In salute to that devotion, we present "Quick-Method Liberty Quilts." This all-American parade of patchwork is pieced in shades of red, white, and blue using the best of today's timesaving methods. You'll use the latest tools and techniques to quickly and accurately piece your own heirloom projects -- and you'll even discover ways to simplify templates and appliques! Whether you've just begun to quilt or you've been at it for years you'll be delighted by a spectacular array of designs. Each flag-waving quilt and wall hanging is rated by skill level, so you'll know exactly which projects are right for you. There's also a battery of smaller, fast-to-stitch items such as pillows, window treatments, decorated clothing, and a table runner. So turn the page and begin celebrating the freedom you'll find by quilting the quick-method way!
