Follow the book from start to finish to create a harmonious quilt using all the block designs, or dip in and out, experimenting with techniques, and then mix and match your favourite blocks to create your own unique masterpiece. The book features:

An inspiring variety of quilting techniques – from simple machine piecing and applique to foundation paper piecing, every block explores a different patchwork and/or quilting method.

Simple instructions, perfect for beginners – each unique block is accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions, clear photography, and full-size templates.

All the patchwork and quilting techniques needed – from piecing your initial shapes right through to binding your finished quilt.

Matching, bonus projects – if you're looking to make items to match your quilt, Debbie has shared ideas on how to transform individual blocks into homewares and accessories, including pillows, pouches, and placemats.

This book is inspired by Debbie and Melissa's incredibly popular Block of the Month quilt-along from the award-winning Half Yard Sewing Club: www.halfyardsewingclub.com

Visit her website: www.debbieshoresewing.com Melissa Nayler is an avid quilter and sewist, and has been sewing seriously since her teens. For several years and in her spare time, she worked on mainly dressmaking projects, until her move to Bude in Cornwall, UK, changed her direction in sewing. Melissa discovered patchwork and quilting while volunteering at the local Citizens Advice Bureau, and became hooked before she'd even sewn a stitch. When Melissa retired in 2014, she contacted Debbie Shore to offer her sewing skills for making samples for her TV shows. It was at the time when Debbie was really busy with TV demonstrations, and she was delighted to have some help. Over the past 10 years Debbie and Melissa developed a great friendship, and Melissa and Debbie have collaborated on several quilting projects, including the Block of the Month Quilts on Debbie's award-winning Half Yard Sewing Club.
