Description:

Want to make your quilting easier to carry with you? Try the quilt as you go methods that women of the 1800's invented so they could work on small blocksin stolen snatches of time. This quilting approach has many other benefits: It allows shorter sessions for tasks that some find tedious-no more weeklong cutting or piecing marathons. It makes sewing-machine work less cumbersome, makes use of small batting scraps, and doesn't require a frame. Based on research ranging from the women's diaries, to finds at quilt auctions, to clues shared by worldwide quilter chat groups, Portable patchwork tells stories about the origins of this technique and the creative women who made or owned the quilts. Included are four projects demonstrating different quilt as you go methods, allowing you to master this technique and add your own unlimited variations-- just as your foremothers did.
