Classic to Contemporary String Quilts

Classic to Contemporary String Quilts: Techniques, Inspiration, and 16 Projects for Strip Quilting by Mary M. Hogan.  Mount Joy: Laundauer, 2019. 65 pages.  paperback *****

String quilts are made from strips of fabric that are usually leftovers from other projects and would in other circumstances be thrown away. Quilters are frugal and attempt to use every bit of fabric when they can. Hogan has provided an easy to follow book with instructions, clear graphics and pictures, to create beautiful string quilts. I have seen some unusual quilts made from strings; however, Hogan's quilts are gorgeous! Hogan has taken traditional blocks and recreated them with a contemporary flair!
Hogan covers the essential tools, foundation and background blocks, and the basics. A perfect gift for a beginner quilter and for someone who has a huge collection of scraps.

Mary Hogan, a self-taught sewer, began her sewing career making clothes for dolls. Now retired from her day job, Mary devotes nearly all her time to quilting, designing and teaching.

I received an ecopy for a review.
