21 Sensational Patchwork Bags

The quilter and author of 21 Terrific Patchwork Bags is back with stunning new quilted bag designs in this illustrated step-by-step project guide.

Acclaimed quilt designer Susan Briscoe presents another twenty-one patchwork bag projects based on thirteen original designs. From exquisite evening bags to portfolios, saddle bags, backpacks, and more, each project is presented with step-by-step instructions, photographs, and piecing diagrams, allowing you to create your own unique and stylish accessories.

Each bag is shown with variations in colorways and other possible adaptions to help you make it truly your own. A separate section covers patchwork techniques including cutting fabric strips, machine piecing patchwork and how to create patchwork blocks such as Seminole, triangle squares, flying geese, log cabin, as well as foundation piecing and crazy patchwork.

Appliqué and quilting techniques are also covered, along with bag making techniques such as making straps, attaching bindings, inserting a zippers and linings, and adding pockets. You'll also find a library of decorative stitches for embellish your bags, advice on fabric color themes, and a library of patchwork blocks.
