Most of the blocks are beginner friendly, and Doak’s expert guidance helps quilters new to the technique get started . . .This collection will appeal to quilters of all skill levels.” —Library Journal “Instead of giving designs for square quilt blocks, Carol Doak’s clever concept is to design rectangular paper-pieced units which can then be combined in different ways to make unique blocks or borders.

It’s quiltmaking made as simple as paint-by-numbers! With a new method called foundation piecing, you just follow a numerical sequence to stitch fabric onto a foundation. Even the smallest pieces meet precisely, quickly, and accurately. With 365 projects, you could make one every day of the year. They’re organized month-by-month, so you could make a patriotic quilt with the July blocks; a Thanksgiving quilt in November; a Christmas quilt with the December blocks; or pretty floral quilts with each month’s flowers. (There are also some whimsical designs such as the yellow submarine that marks the day the Beatles came to America.) Photos of quilts made with blocks for each month accompany the complete instructions for the entire foundation piecing process.
