Block Party - The Modern Quilting Bee, by Alissa Haight Carlton & Kristen Lejnieks
Book Site: Block Party!
Block Party is a lovely book for those who want to start quilting, but feel somewhat intimidated by the scale and precision of the craft. Alissa Haight Carlton and Kristen Lejnieks, both lovers of modern quilting, formed a virtual quilting bee, where twelve quilters from all over the U.S. shared the process of making twelve quilts over the course of a year. The book shares the patterns, color stories, and processes of making for all of the quilts, along with stories of how these quilters helped each other grow new skills and feel connected through making.
We'll have more pictures and details from the book after the jump. Below, you can find a PDF project excerpt from Block Party - the Wonky Log Cabin quilt pictured above. It's a beautiful, accessible project for new or experienced quilters.
Edited to add:Sorry, everyone - we aren't actually hosting a giveaway for this book, although other stops on the Block Party blog tour were.
