Book Description
Fan mail from quilters who rave about the exquisite 'applique look' of Pam Bono's quick rotary-cut patchwork designs was the inspiration behind the new book, Dear Pam: Teach Me Your Quick Quilting Techniques. Pam makes her wonderful designs mimic the flowing lines of applique and other traditional quilt patterns by her clever placement of simple triangles, squares, and strips. Approaching each topic like an advice columnist, Pam demonstrates the methods step by step and provides innovative projects using the techniques in quilts and quilted accessories for the home. Some border options and color variations are also taught. Some of the techniques on which the patterns are based include multiple diagonal corners; diagonal corner blocks used as diagonal corners; strip sets used as diagonal corners; and triangle-squares used as diagonal corners. Many tricks are included using diagonal corners to avoid matching cross seams.
