Let's get started! -- Principles of modern quilt design -- Essential tools -- Perfect piecing -- The quilt sandwich -- Finishing the quilt -- Quilt patterns.

"At last, a book that teaches beginner quilters simple techniques to create successful quilts that reflect today's tastes for bold colors and prints, high contrast, and expansive use of negative space. Contemporary style in quilts is inspired by modern design, which uses color, composition, and contrast to create a bold look. Simple Quilts for the Modern Home provides all the how-to a beginner needs to know to cut, piece, and finish each quilt. Each project is an opportunity to utilize a new skill, like strip piecing, using fusible appliqué, and cutting at a 45-degree angle. The results are fresh, bold, and contemporary quilts that will appeal to quiltmakers of all skill levels!"--
