Sliver Quilts: 11 Projects Easy Technique for Dynamic Results

Feeling a little adventurous? Learn how to incorporate bright, decadent fabrics into your quilts without overwhelming your design.

Add fresh, striking dimension and texture to traditional or contemporary quilts with Lisa O'Neill's original "sliver piecing" technique. It's easier than it looks, so you can make your classic or modern quilt blocks really snap with colorful fabric splinters! Lisa shows you how a folded piece of narrow fabric—the sliver—is inserted into a tuck in the background fabric. Then the raw edges of the sliver are encased in the tuck, while the folded edge of the sliver is revealed on the fabric surface. You'll learn how to get perfect points or super slim strips without fusing or paper-piecing.

"Sounds complicated, but we are assured by the author that it is easy and has many applications both with traditional blocks and in creating your own innovative pieces. This is an interesting idea with lots of potential, especially for the quilter who enjoys a little freedom of expression." —Fabrications Quilting for You Magazine
