Celebrate 145 years of iconic Liberty London fabric with this sumptuous combination of practical pattern book and fascinating company history Come back in time with us as author Jenni Smith celebrates the iconic designs that have made Liberty London one of the world’s most iconic fabric manufacturers, enjoying unparalleled success from 1875 to the present day. Here, 15 quilts celebrate Liberty’s history decade by decade, featuring these luxurious fabrics and reflecting changing fashion trends and major developments in both the store’s history and the history of design. Featuring beautiful details of the classic fabric designs produced over the years, each quilt will inspire readers to finally cut into those precious bits of fabric and begin enjoying them in pieced projects of their very own.

No patterns here, but definitely a plan! Explore the freeing power of improvised piecing with Nicholas Ball in his first book, Inspiring Improv. Learn his step-by-step technique-based process to explore six fundamental piecing structures. Practice how to stitch fabric together in an improvisational manner to create blocks or sections before using them to sew unique quilts all your own. Improv piecing doesn't have to mean chaotic end results. Look to the eight original projects included to see how to create sophisticated quilts with structure focusing on repeating blocks or large-scale scrappy designs. Follow along as Nicholas walks you through his original inspiration and follow his plan through to finished pieces, as he discusses which combination of his core piecing methods he used, and how to achieve showstopping, exciting work. From simple strip piecing through to complex circles and rings, you will be eager to experiment with making slabs, gentle curves, insets, triangles and even 9-patch and Log Cabin stacks. In no time, you'll be using them as a stepping stone to sewing original full-sized improvisational designs.

Grab your scissors and cut up the exclusive 150 swatch colour-card provided (don't worry, we've included a handy envelope in the back to keep them all organised!), before embarking on a series of 14 exercises that will truly transform how you work with colour.

Quilters love collecting these precut bundles, but often don't know what to do with them. Because they are a specific cut of fabric (18 x 22'' instead of a 1/4 yard cut from fabric that measures 9 x 44'' and is much less usable) the instructions for a project need to be specifically written to accommodate these fat quarter cuts.
