The clear, step-by-step instructions and quilt math all worked out makes this the perfect book for those that are feeling adventurous and thinking of dipping their toes into quilt design, and for seasoned quilters and designers that want to put something unique effortlessly." -Wendy Chow, founder of The Weekend Quilter and author of Urban Quilting "Beginners and advanced quilters alike will love this versatile book, which helps you pick and mix a wide variety of modern blocks to make a quilt that's unique to you. Amanda has dutifully provided all the tricky math formulas, so you don't need to worry about getting out your calculator... simply focus on creating a stunning quilt to treasure." -Lorna Slessor, Editor of Love Patchwork & Quilting "This is a great resource for quilters of all skill levels and for libraries that support a community of innovative artists." -Library Journal We believe that quilters of all skill levels will find inspiration in the pages of Quilt Your Own Adventure.
