STRING PIECING: Old Blocks - New Looks
TRUNK SHOW
Quilters have loved this simple but dramatic way to add originality and sparkle to traditional blocks. For this trunk show Shelly displayed a large selection of quilts created with her technique and explained how easy it can be to create beautiful unique quilts by adding string pieced fabrics to those quilt blocks we are all so familiar with. Refer to the October 2001 issue of Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine.
