Red & White Quilts: 14 Quilts with Timeless Appeal from Today's Top Designers Kindle Edition

If you’re into quilting, you’ve gotta check out Red & White Quilts. It’s packed with 14 gorgeous patterns from some of the top designers. The red and white combo is so classic and clean. Whether you’re into modern or vintage styles, there’s something here you’ll love working on!

This book includes 14 quilts from 14 designers. The designs are mostly pieced but a few also include applique. Flower Power (52" square) by Helen Stubbings is entirely applique and would be wonderful for Valentine's Day since it includes open hearts. One of the quilts includes English Paper Piecing. Three of the quilts have more of a modern appearance. (One looks like hash tags.)I'm more of a traditional quilter and my favorite quilts designs include the following which may help you figure out if this book is for you:- Sweet Dreams by Lisa Alexander which is made from 45 or fight blocks which result in the allusion of rings even though the quilt is made using straight-line sewing. As shown it is a big quilt measuring 78.5" x 96.5".- Ruby Jubilee by Karen Styles is an eight-pointed LeMoyne star quilt (76.5" square) that is lovely but will need quite a bit of quilting expertise to complete since there are so many points that need to be matched...but the outcome is awesome!. Scarlet Song by Kim Diehl (one of my favorite designers) includes Dresden plate blocks, pieced stars and a small amount of applique. The pieced borders are quite interesting and really finish off the 63.5" square quilt.- Tracking Traditions by Debbie Roberts which uses Turkey Track blocks that surround a lightly appliqued center square is very nice and the center motif could be changed out easily for anything else...even a panel that's 17" finished. This quilt is set on point and measures 57.5" x 69.5".The book is easy to read (large enough and dark enough font), The instructions are complete and there include useful diagrams for making the blocks/quilts. Templates for piecing and appliques follow immediately after the quilt pattern. There are no "basic" quilting instructions.If I was offered do-overs, would I buy the book? Yes!

Although this is red and white quilts, I can see these using so many different fabric choices. This is another wonderful book by several different contributors published by Martingale who I find makes quality quilt books. It's a very nice quality soft cover with quality paper pages. I found most of the instructions to be well written and some have nicely done templates. Some of the different contributors even have cutting diagrams and pressing instructions, and some great tips on applique.

Love this book

Seems like it’s more for quilters than quilt admirers. There are some nice examples of red and white quilts with the patterns and instructions. Was hoping for just the finished quilt photos. Good quality book.

Red and white quilts are classic for a reason. There is a nice variety of patterns here. This is a good addition to the quilt book library.

Great book! I already had Red & White Quilts II, so I expected the quality and designs to be excellent and they were. Book arrived in excellent condition.

The book was just what I was looking for to give me inspiration to make a red and white quilt.
