Radiant Quilts (Stunning Quilts from Simple Shapes)

Radiant Quilts offers a complete guide to making gorgeous scrap quilts using just one, two, or three simple repeated shapes. Renowned author and quilt designer Elsie M. Campbell uses triangles, clamshells, half-hexagons, strips, and diamonds to make nine start-to-finish, stash-busting projects—from stunning table runners to a gorgeous king-sized quilt. With simplicity as the basis for each piece or block, Elsie shows how color, value, and contrast can work together to create the illusion of depth and light. She explains how to make fabric decisions that produce wonderfully luminescent quilts. Her book provides cutting instructions for three methods: cutting with scissors and templates; rotary cutters and rulers; and die cutters.
