The book is called "The Practical Guide to Patchwork" by Elizabeth Hartman. And it is exactly that, a practical guide. It has several gorgeous quilt patterns in it as well. Some of the first quilts that I made were from this book. I recommend this book (highly) to those who are just beginning to quilt and to those who are taking it back up. (The quilt in the picture is a Turtle Quilt that I made for my husband in 2010. At the time, I had no idea of what I had taken on!)
Here is a photo of one that I made from some leftover "scraps" that I had after making one of her quilts. (January 2011) I basically made the pattern up based on the pieces that I had leftover. I did some straight line machine quilting with different colors. It took me awhile, but I liked it then and still like it now! I came across it the other day as I was "organizing" my sewing room. (Hah! Like it will ever be organized!)
