Inspired by Jennifer Chiaverini¿s best-selling novel, The Union Quilters, this sampler quilt offers a treasure trove of traditional blocks sewn by the women of Elm Creek Valley to support their troops during the American Civil War. The book includes historical notes on the novel and photos of 9 Loyal Union Samplers made by Jennifer and other Elm Creek Quilts lovers from around the world. These blocks can be mixed and matched with blocks from Jennifer¿s wildly popular Elm Creek Quilts sampler, Sylvia¿s Bridal Sampler. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

All of the 121 blocks have detailed instructions on cutting and sewing. Some of the blocks are well-known and traditional blocks, but many are newer blocks. There are both easy blocks and some are more difficult to construct. Fabric requirements are given for making an entire sampler quilt, which would be very helpful. another nice thing about this book is that the 6" block size is interchangeable with another Chiaverini book, Sylvia's Bridal Sampler. You can design your own sampler quilt using your favorite blocks from each book.
Besides the sampler quilt on the book cover, Chiaverini made several other sampler quilts using bright fabrics, and they are very beautiful.
This is a very nice book for making a sampler quilt, and to stretch your piecing skills. It will also become a favorite for civil war block collectors and quilters! ( )
