While I was in the fabric store today I saw two great quilting books “Nickel Quilts”, and “More Nickel Quilts”, both by Pat Speth. I have seen these books before, but was instantly drawn to them because of my recent discovery of Moda’s “Promo Packs” of fabric – a pack of 48 different 5 inch squares of fabric already cut and ready to use. The quilts in these books are designed to be made specifically with 5 inch squares of fabric. I was amazed at the beautiful quilts that can be so easily made with an array of 5 inch squares and a little imagination.
Moda’s Promo Packs and Pat Speth’s books on nickel quilts are such a perfect pair that I just had to write about them in hopes of enhancing your quilting experience. If you’re like me, every once in a while it is rewarding and fun to create a sure-fire, easily-planned, simply-constructed, can’t-mess-this-one-up, quilt! You can find more information about these products at: www.patspeth.com, and www.modafabrics.com
