String Quilts: Carolyn Forster

String Quilts Carolyn Forster

String Quilts Carolyn Forster is all about sustainable quilts made from your well-loved items.

Many quilters are rediscovering a range of traditional patchwork and quilting techniques that, at their heart, are based on recycling and reusing materials. A style of patchwork that is true to this ethos, and which has been around for centuries, is string patchwork with its use of sewn fabric strips. Due to the scrap nature of string quilts, they are good for using a wide range and eclectic mix of fabrics that, otherwise, would have gathered dust in the corner of a room.

Best-selling author, teacher, and quilter Carolyn Forster will show you how to:

• Transform old clothes and bedding, off-cuts, and once-loved furnishing fabrics into 10 beautiful string patchwork quilts
• Create easily your favourite designs with an array of scraps featuring traditional blocks
• Ensure nothing goes to waste – included here are 8 little gifts and accessories to make with the leftovers from your quilt-making including a needle case, a quilt-notions pouch, a table runner, and a duffel bag
