Reviews

Piece and Quilt as You Go is an inspiring guide that combines creativity with practicality, offering quilters of all levels a delightful array of projects to complete one block at a time. - Liza Taylor, author of Wonderful World of Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks
A must-have book for anyone who wants a break from wrestling a large quilt with its batting and backing through a small domestic machine. With 'quilt as you go, ' you quilt small quilt sandwiches separately, then sew them together and cover or hide the seams. The author offers FIVE different ways do this, along with 24 creative, unique projects, from a scented trivet to a cathedral windows table mat with open windows! With so many options, this is a go-to reference book that I'll pick up first, any time I want to make a fast gift or want to practice my freemotion quilting skills! - Cathy Perlmutter, author of Hexagon Star Quilts
Debi's book offers practical projects with realistic finishing options to get us delving into our collected fabrics! - Kristin La Flamme, author of Quilt Your Story
So many small and innovative projects for today's busy quilter and crafter. Use up your scraps, a jelly roll of precut strips or 4" or 10" squares. This book is both inspirational and instructive with its illustrated step-by-step instructions for each of the featured projects. - Jean Ann Wright, author of Pineapple Play Quilts & Projects, Roll with the Classics, and more
