Scrappy Bits Appliqué: Fast & Easy Fusible Quilts 8… door Shannon Brinkley
"Scrappy Bits Applique" by Shannon Brinkley is a fun book for quilters, especially those with a scrap pile(s) or a stash of fabrics. Scrappy Bits Applique uses fabrics that have fusible webbing (iron on glue) on the backs, and they are applied (ironed) onto either a background fabric or a fusible interfacing. You can either glue the pieces on to follow the lines of your picture or cover a space with your scraps and cut your design out. I think that would be the method I would use, thinking I could make the project more precise. After the scrap picture is attached to the background fabric, you can either top-stitch the fabrics down in a variety of methods, or if your project will have less use, tulle can be applied over the picture, and less stitching is required.
Brinkley included some color theory; using color effectively in your project, and also includes instructions for finishing your quilt.
Eight projects are included in the book, with well-written instructions, and instructions are given for making your own appplique project, using your own design.
I am currently unable to sew, but when I can again, I want to make a project using these techniques. The process is very artistic and is a great way to use up my scraps!
