Quilt Me! 
Using inspirational fabrics to create over 20 beautiful quilts

An exciting new title from the leading quilt author, Quilt Me! celebrates Jane Brocket’s liberated, joyous, colourful approach to quilting using wonderful fabrics and simple shapes and patterns to create stunning effects.Taking ‘inspirational fabrics’ as its starting point, the book explores not only thedesigns available in cotton, made-for-the-market quilt/patchwork fabrics, butalso moves into a new realm of alternative fabrics that can be used to makebeautiful, practical, usable quilts. It is as if a quilt-maker has walked into thehaberdasher’s of her dreams and has explored the many possibilities thattraditional fabrics offer, fabrics such as ticking, linen, gingham, tweed, tartan, suiting, shirting, velvet, silk and calico.With clear instructions for a fantastic variety of quilts, Quilt Me! recreates theexcitement, known to all quilters, of rummaging through a new stash of fabrics.The author describes the joy to be found in a wonderful colour scheme, designor pattern, as well as the aesthetic and practical advantages of making the mostof what we find in traditional fabric shops and in our textile heritage, findingalternatives to quilt cottons, and casting a new eye over fabrics made for otherpurposes such as clothes, curtains, upholstery and interior decoration.
