Woolens, Flannels, & Plaids - Book Two

This book continues the Woolens & Flannels series with several new wool & flannel quilts along with other coordinating projects. Most of the projects in this book are shown in navy blues & tans with some pretty yellow flannel accents. Several of the projects also feature little embroidered flowers - Lazy Daisies - here and there as an unexpected accent. The quilt in the upper left corner of the front cover is a Log Cabin quilt with a twist. The center of each block, traditionally the "chimney" square, is one of these little embroidered flowers. The quilt is finished with a wonderful scrap border, adding to the unique treatment of a traditional favorite. This quilt, called 'Flowers in the Cabin', measures 26" x 37". Also shown hanging on the front cover, to the lower right, is a scrappy little quilt featuring Log Cabin & Flying Geese blocks along with appliqued wool star blocks. In addition there is an appliqued wool log cabin, tree, and two little bears. Called 'A Lodge In The Forest' this quilt measures 25" x 29". It also has a border made from scraps of all the flannels used in the quilt. In addition to these two, there are five other quilts, including a 36" x 54" pieced house lap quilt. And pillows - pieced, embroidered, and wool applique. The simple embroidery - complete directions & illustrations included - is continued in other wool projects, including a navy wool banner & a little navy wool purse. A denim shirt with wool applique and a little rusted tin frame featuring embroidered wool pieces completes the book.
