These 16 quilts and wall hangings are designed with basic piecing skills in mind. Even though they’re beginner-friendly, experienced quilters will also love these options for quick and easy quilts. There’s something for everyone, from modern to traditional settings and batiks to solids. There’s a cozy quilted shawl wrap with pockets and a very sweet idea for a quilt with ribbon looped edging.
I really, really love the Triangle Toss quilt on page 4 – simple and modern, it features bright solid triangles twirling around on a white background. I like the idea of quilting a different geometric design on each triangle, too. The Mint Chocolate Chip quilt on page 18 is another favorite – it has a nice windowpane pattern that shows off lots of gorgeous stripes and florals. And I have just got to give a shout-out to the Freshly Frayed quilt on page 34 because I’m all about quick and easy two-fer techniques like raw-edge appliqué. Quiltmaking basics are in the back – all in all, this is a great beginner’s book for sure!
