I got a new quilting book for Christmas. It is a collection of quilt patterns by Tone Finnanger, all made with the latest Tilda fabric collection.
Now, if you are like me, you got heaps of books in your shelves, however this book is different - an absolute delight for freemotion-quilting lovers. There are 14 very beautiful quilts in this book as well as various pillows all quilted with exquisite freemotion-quilting designs. An absolute delight to look at and to drool over.
Some designs are very simple like in the pillow above, but others have got the most amazing custom quilting on it. Just beautiful. While she does not illustrate her quilting designs, the abundance of photos and close ups give you enough ideas on how you might quilt these quilts. There is something for everybody...swirls, circles, simple sashing designs and more ornate flower arrangements.
There are at least two quilts in this book which have made it onto my list of 'need to do this'...one very simple strip quilt and one with ducks (or birds ) on it.
Highly recommended!

Love your review! I recently bought a fat quarter bundle of Tilda Woodland.. I’ve been thinking about buying this book also, even though I rarely buy quilt books now. (I have so many already). I love the palette, quieter without being cutesy. Thanks for post!
