Simply In-Spiral-ational!
Take one look at these "in-spiralling" quilts and you'll be eager to create one of your own. Award-winning quilt designer RaNae Merrill shares her spiral design know-how and techniques in this complete book of instruction. RaNae gets quilters of all skill levels started quickly and easily with no stress, confusion, or math skills required. Just bring your creativity and passion for quilting!
You'll learn the basic techniques for spiral quilting and variations on four types of spirals—nesting, baravelles (the twirliest), pinwheels, and point-to-point; and how to change spin direction, choose colors and fabrics, mix and combine spirals and non-spiral elements, and create mandala quilts.
Five complete projects and a gorgeous gallery of quilts by RaNae and fellow "spiromaniacs" will pull you into their world of spirals! Each project uses foundation piecing and demonstrates the wonderful possibilities of working with spirals. Whirling, swirling and bursting-with-color, some designs seem to explode from the center, while others unravel into whirligigs and colored ribbons.
Jump in today! Use the templates provided as building blocks to your creativity. Who knows, you may become a full-fledged spiromaniac and discover a new spiral form of your own!
