501 Quilting Motifs Designs For Hand Or Machine Quilting

I'm always looking for ideas for new free-motion quilting designs and was excited when I heard about the new book "501 Quilting Motifs, Designs for Hand or Machine Quilting", by Martingale & Company, home of That Patchwork Place.

After having a chance to check out this quilt book, I wanted to share insights with you today.  This book was compiled by Quiltmaker Magazine, over a 26 period, and contains 501 quilting motifs that are perfect for machine quilters, hand quilters and/or longarm quilters.

The collect of designs  include a variety of quilt designs organized into groups by Children/Teens, Feathers, Flowers, Foods, Geometric Shapes, Hearts, Seasonal/Holiday, Vines and Leaves, and Circle and Angle Patterns.
The book is also  spiral bound making it easy to copy and/or trace designs.

Insights are also shared, in this book, to help with motif selection, adjusting size, transferring motifs, positioning, marking and more.

I hope you'll have a chance to check out this book at your local quilt store, or online at Martingale & Company.

    Really nice! I'm always collecting these kinds of books, and now I have a bazillion! However, I'm convinced just one more will have that "perfect" pattern for the next quilt! Thanks for sharing!

    I think that would be a nice book to have. I always print out designs I can use later, but nicer to have a book with lots of designs to use as reference.

    I can use all the help I can get when quilting the quilt. This looks like another good reference book to have.
