Billie will show you how to play with 60 and 45 degree Diamonds. You will loose the fear of working with bias edges. The “Y” seam will become just another seam to you. You will understand how to figure out your filler triangles and squares. She will show you basic steps for a four patch, nine patch, a tumbling block and a star. You will find that the basic method of construction stays the same no matter what the angle is. She will put a new “slant” on your thinking.

Hand-Appliqued Quilts: Beautiful Designs and Simple Techniques
by Tonye Belinda Phillips
Quilter and teacher Tonye Belinda-Phillips has a passion for folk art appliqué—and it inspired her to develop a simple, no-fuss method for making stunning hand-appliquéd quilts. In this beautiful volume, Tonye lays out her fresh, easy approach, revealing all the special techniques she’s discovered on her quilting journey: ideas for choosing fabrics, working with color, and creating the appliqué shapes, as well as placing, basting, and stitching it up. Twenty bright and cheerful projects include a basic basket-shaped pattern that’s great for beginners; an updated floral pattern with playful spirals; and a garden-themed design with watering cans. They’re all photographed using natural light in scenic rustic settings—making this book an object of art in its own right.
