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.
