Solids, Stripes, Circles, and Squares

Pippa Eccles Armbrester is the author of a new book "Solids, Stripes, Circles, and Squares: 16 Modern Patchwork Quilt Patterns" that has been published by Martingale.  And, I'm excited to be able to share insights with you today on this fun new book.

All of the designs have photos of inspirational projects, well written and easy to follow instructions, and detailed fabric requirements.

Most projects are pieced, but some have a few simple applique' designs.

SewCalGal hopes you get a chance to check out this fun new book at your local quilt shop soon, or online.  These modern designs certainly work well for solids, but SewCalGal also believes the designs in this book would make for great stash-buster projects too.
