There's no end of great quilt fabric available, but for a truly unique look many quilters enjoy creating their own, so that not only the quilt pattern but also the textiles themselves convey personal style. Immersion, direct, and tie-dyeing methods are all explained here, as well as various techniques of fabric painting. Twelve quilt projects (including templates and diagrams for each) demonstrate how to transform hand-dyed materials into attractive finished quilts. There are also instructions and suggestions for about a dozen other applications, from vests to place mats to scrunchies. The quilt directions are brief, but they provide a good jumping-off point for those seeking to incorporate hand dyeing into their quilting. --Amy Handy

Sampler Quilt Blocks from Native American Designs

More than 160 inspiring designs, representing a wide range of Native American cultures, have been assembled by Dr. Joyce Mori, a well-known anthropologist. These patterns can be found on pottery and rugs, and they are used in beading, jewelry, and other crafts and are perfect for quilting motifs. The book spans the time from prehistory to the present, and where possible, the patterns have been identified by tribe or region. They are arranged by categories: small designs, designs for specific shapes, border designs, and whole-cloth designs. The patterns are presented as a series of elements that can be combined with others to produce new designs, such as adding a pima basket motif to a northwest coast drum design for a totally new composition. The author gives strategies for working with the quilting patterns and shows how she has developed or changed them. In addition to discovering many beautiful and unusual hand-quilting motifs, the reader will also find a section of continuous line patterns for machine quilting.
