Essential quilter; traditional, techniques, design, patterns and projects. Barbara Chainey. 1993.

Beginning with an appraisal of quilting history and tradition, Barbara Chainey then shows clearly and in great detail how beautiful quilts can be designed and made; how patchwork and appliqué may be enhanced by quilting; how feather patterns and cables may be constructed and developed. She also shows how unique patterns may be developed using a simple mirror technique. A variety of projects are presented, with clear instructions and diagrams, to suit both the novice and the improving quilter.
