Simple Stained Glass Quilts by Daphne Greig and Susan Purney Mark

I do like stained glass quilts, I have never made one – but do think they are quite intriguing and this books gives a really good introduction to this style of quilting. Using black to outline each section giving the effect of stained glass – or using black outlines over one piece of landscape or floral fabric is as if you are looking out of a window.

The projects in this book are all pretty simple, as the name suggests. The cover project, mosaic tile, is probably the best one in the book and enables you to showcase some really exotic fabrics. Along with pretty good instructions – this is a fun addition to your quilt book library.

Hi there! Glad you like our book. Have you seen the wonderful Flower Fairy fabrics from Michael Miller? I made one of the ‘Paris View’ quilts using the Hawthorne Fairy. See it on my blog here: http://daphnegreig.blogspot.com/search/label/Flower%20Fairies

If you make one of the quilts from the book, please send us a photo!

I have never seen any of these quilts before, and am inspired to pick up the book for sure. Thanks for sharing!
