A while ago I saw several beautiful quilts, all made from blocks from the book "5500 quilt block designs" by Maggie Malone. After spending some time on Amazon, I found a second-hand copy in the United States, for less than 15 euro! A week or so ago, it finally arrived on my doorstep.
Een tijdje geleden zag ik enkele mooie quilts die allemaal gemaakt waren op basis van blokken uit het boek "5500 quilt block designs" van Maggie Malone. Na wat speurwerk op Amazon vond ik een tweedehands exemplaar in de Verenigde Staten, voor minder dan 15 euro! Een week of wat geleden viel het hier in de bus.
The book gives an overview of possible quilt blocks, too many to choose from. There are no explanations on how to make the blocks, but unless you're an absolute beginner, that's not really a problem. There's enough inspiration in this book for many possible projects...

Liesel's Hexagon Technique
A couple of weeks ago, I saw the book "Liesel's Hexagon technique" in my LQS, by Hilde Knatt and Liesel Niesner. I looked it up on the internet and found a Dutch shop, Lohuis-Tijhuis, that sold it online. It arrived today.
The book dates from 2001 and this is a reprint from 2011. It gives a very detailed explanation about paper piecing, paper templates, how to draw templates (from triangle to octagon) and so on.Best of all, it also has examples of patterns and pattern sheets.You just have to take a copy of the pages and start colouring. It really gives you the possibility to play around with different designs.
I'm glad I found this book, it's very practical and gives a lot of tips and step-by-step instructions.
