A how-to manual for cutting old-time patchwork patterns with today's accurate templates and quick rotary techniques
  • All 175 block patterns are made from three basic shapes: the square, the half-square triangle, and the quarter-square triangle.
  • Make different and unique-looking blocks, choosing your own colors and fabrics in light, medium, and dark tonal values.
  • Overlapping skill levels - patterns are grouped by easy, intermediate, and advanced for Nine-Patch, and Five-Patch blocks.
  • Contains full-sized templates with double-cut points for accuracy. The math has been done for you; just trace, cut, and sew!
  • Look for the scrap fabric icon that symbolizes patterns traditionally made with small pieces from the scrap bag.
