A Year of Quilting

With the help of sewing superstar Debbie Shore and quilt-expert Melissa Nayler, learn how to combine 52 unique blocks - one for every week of the year - to create a stunning patchwork quilt. Inspired by their incredibly popular "Block of the Month" project, on the award-winning Half Yard Sewing Club subscription website, Debbie and Melissa have teamed up once again to create a no-nonsense guide to sewing a quilt over the course of a year. All the patchwork and quilting techniques are accessible to beginners, but also serve as a source of inspiration for the more experienced quilter. From simple machine piecing and appliqué to Foundation Paper Piecing, you'll find clear instructions and photography guiding you through the key process. In addition to the final quilt, Debbie shares ideas on how to transform individual blocks into homewares and accessories, including cushions and bags; these are perfect for absolute beginners who may wish to try out patchwork techniques before committing to a complete quilt, and they demonstrate how versatile the blocks can be too.
