Take a tame, familiar quilt block and unleash it to create a fresh, modern look. Eleanor Levie and five quilters famous for innovation put their spins on well-loved classics. Gorgeous photos make you gaga for wonky hearts, skewed nine-patches, a crazy-quilted star, split Log Cabins, a basket gone bonkers and more. Guided by easy how-to's and more than 120 step-by-step photos, even beginner quilters can make super-cool pillows, quilts, wall hangings and bags. There are also plenty of hands-on extras: tips and tricks for colour, composition and design, plus workbook (er, rather playbook) sections that offer lots of jumping-off points to tweak tradition and create your own original blocks. In short, you'll be wild for these bold takes on old favourites!
