Yes, you CAN design a patchwork quilt!

Structured Fabrics: Checks, Plaids and Stripes shows you fun and easy ways to design your own one-of-a-kind quilts. Step away from the limitations of patchwork quilt blocks with straight seam construction and reliance on commercial fabric design. Cut, sew, layer and stitch to create an original patchwork quilt design wall hanging, wearable garment or accessory made from Structured Fabrics: Checks, Plaids and Stripes.

Discover how to combine freehand rotary cutting techniques and machine appliqué with zigzag stitching to make stunning checks, plaids and stripes. Cut materials into small pieces to build patterned cloths of sewn construction. Weave a check, build a plaid onto part of the check, augment both with a stripe and add solid colors for accent and relief.

Author Dena Dale Crain explains an easy way to design an artistic wall hanging quilt, or you may use one of the layout patterns she provides. Dena does not present Structured Fabrics as a preconceived project, but as a demonstration of many possibilities.

Nothing new is needed and you can use up materials already in your stash, turning fabrics you do not particularly like into stunning new creations. Then assemble these remarkable materials into simple but delightful original compositions to make Structured Fabrics as art quilts, soft furnishings or wearables.

Each Structured Fabric you build reveals your personal signature style and reflects your mood, state of mind and priorities. You have the personal freedom to develop new ideas about fabric combinations and approaches to build the fabrics of your choice.

Of course, the materials you choose influence the ways in which you may use them. Every attempt to produce a new Structured Fabric results in a fresh approach to its construction. Read this fantastic ebook, have great fun and be challenged as a patchwork quilt designer at every turn!

Use Structured Fabrics to execute any design of your choice and finish the patchwork quilt at your leisure. In the meantime, you will be busy making more checks, plaids and stripes and looking for new, innovative Structured Fabrics patchwork quilt design ideas to use them!

You will love the look and feel of these richly textured fabrics, assemblies of materials already on hand, and the opportunities for color combinations are as limitless as the ways in which you can use them!

You will have lots of fun playing with the possibilities for designing and making unique fabrics, then using them to assemble gorgeous and useful original patchwork quilted products. Make ATCs, wearables, accessories or one-off works of art—the designs and choices are up to you!
