In East-Meets-West Quilts, expert quilter Patricia Belyea offers improv instruction and shares her appealing Quilt Manifesto of five simple rules.\nWhile providing quilters with a starting point, the fifth rule of the Manifesto, “Break any rule you like,” opens the door to creative freedom. (However, the solid instructions allow even the rule-breakers to create beautiful quilts on the first try!)\nFourteen projects combine authentic Japanese yukata cottons and contemporary fabrics; each is finished with bold hand-stitching. The quilt-making process is presented in detail, and each quilt shows the irresistible wabi-sabi influence of Japanese design.\n“With fresh designs and useful directions, Belyea's book is both practical and aspirational.” ―Publishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1419726595\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1419726595.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Belyea, Patricia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
