With one quilt made up of 21 block designs, master teacher Carolyn Forster takes you on a quilt making journey that begins with the basics and progresses in skill level with each new block. Start with simple blocks and easy methods, then move on to more intricate pieces and challenging skills as your confidence increases! With templates for every block and step-by-step instructions and photographs, The Handmade Quilt will help you thoroughly practice hand stitching and hand quilting blocks, from stitching set-in seams to stitching curves. The Handmade Quilt provides both a complete learning experience for new quilters and a stunning project for experienced stitchers. You'll be amazed by the finished project: An heirloom-quality quilt that's also a beautiful sampler of stash-busting blocks!
