Making the book a must-have are “Elsie’s Top Tips for Squares and Triangle Quilts,” complete with full-color diagrams. Says Campbell, “My favorite part of quiltmaking is playing with color and value so that I give a contemporary twist to traditional blocks and patterns.” She does it here—with 13 quilts shown in full-color photography, along with easy-to-follow instructions, patterns, and diagrams for making each one. For beginning and intermediate quilters.
