I love traditional quilting but, for me, I needed more. This book released all my wild ideas and I felt free to be more expressive with my quilting!I also love collecting unusual fabrics but hated to cut them into traditional pieces for traditional quilts. After buying this book and making the projects, I now have room to buy more fabric. This book has many different techniques and with the detailed instructions all projects turn out fantastic. The author included a gallery at the back of the book that is filled with inspiring "windows".

Do you have a piece of fabric that's too great to cut, and just sits on your shelf? Cut a fabric frame for it -- oval, heart shaped, free-form -- and showcase it as a wall hanging or full-sized quilt. No patterns needed; just a sharp pair of scissors and simple quilting and applique skills. Author Labanaris shows you how to do it, and presents a gallery of view quilts for inspiration. These make great fast-and-easy projects!
