    Modern One-Block Quilts - Natalia Bonner

    Dedication

    This book is dedicated to Emmy and Gage Jasperson, Kathleen’s parents and Natalia’s grandparents, who at 79 years of age pieced and helped to piece several of the quilts in this book, unpicked quilts, spent hours figuring out patterns, and even repaired sewing machines. Thank you so much for teaching both of us the love of sewing, both art and precision. You are amazing!

    Acknowledgments

    Special thanks to both our families for supporting us along the journey of writing this book.

    To Ashlee Woolf, Ainslee Howells, and Ilene Peterson, thank you for the gorgeous quilts that you pieced for this book.

    Emmy and Gage Jasperson, thank you for your support, encouragement, and willingness to sew multiple quilts, unpick quilts, and repair sewing machines.

    To everyone who reads our blog and attends quilt guilds with us, your kind comments and support gave us more motivation and encouragement than we could have ever imagined.

    Thank you to Moda Fabrics, Riley Blake Designs, Michael Miller Fabrics, Birch Fabrics, Windham Fabrics, Robert Kaufman Fabrics, Warm & Natural batting, and all the brilliant fabric designers. The fabrics that you provided for this book are lovely and helped us to create beautiful quilts.

    To all the staff at C&T Publishing and Stash Books—thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to write this book. This journey has been so much fun.

    Introduction

    WE ARE CRAZY ABOUT QUILTING.

    We like the feeling that we are creating something useful as well as adding design to our homes. Displaying color and artistry on a bed enhances the room as well as giving the satisfaction of creating an inviting space.

    Making one block and turning it different ways to create a pattern can be fascinating. Today’s fabric choices open up even more possibilities for design and depth in both the block and the quilt. It is fun to see what we can create.

    We love the way different colors and shapes can be used in decorating to affect our moods and emotions. When it comes to decorating our homes, we can change the feeling of a room with a quick change of a quilt on a bed, draped over a chair or couch, or hanging on a wall. One-block quilts especially lend themselves to create interesting patterns that enhance a room when they are folded across the bed or even over a ladder. The effect can come from the pattern and from the color. Straight lines can create a modern, bold feeling, whereas rounded or curved lines induce a soft, more romantic atmosphere. Reds and oranges can be energizing, blues and grays more calming. Green is considered a neutral and will create a relaxed feeling, while yellow lightens the mood. Purple stirs creativity, while brown adds sophistication.

    This book includes 22 blocks that appeal to today’s quilters, from the beginner to the more advanced quilter. The blocks range in size from 6˝ × 6˝ to 12˝ × 24˝, and instructions are given for baby, throw, and coverlet sizes. The coverlet size is large enough to use on beds of various sizes.

    Think of the way design and color impact your emotions, and decide what kind of feeling you are ready to create. Choose the block and fabric colors, and then you are ready to enjoy the process.

    Sewing

    BASICS

    The quilts in this book are constructed with many common elements: snowballs, half-square triangles, Flying Geese, and template piecing. The steps in each project show one way to construct the blocks for the quilt. For example, a quilt may have Flying Geese elements within a block, and the steps will explain one method for making Flying Geese. However, there are other methods for constructing Flying Geese, and this section explains some alternative methods for achieving the same elements in a quilt. At the end of this section, you will find basic instructions for finishing a quilt: layering, quilting, and some choices for binding the quilt to add the finishing touches.

    Snowball Corners

    Refer to the project instructions for the sizes of the squares.

    1. Lightly draw a diagonal line from a corner to the opposite corner on the wrong side of a smaller square. Place the small square on the corner of a larger square, lining up the outer edges as shown.

    2. Sew on the diagonal line from corner to opposite corner on the smaller square. Repeat on all 4 corners.

    3. Trim ¹⁄4˝ beyond stitching. Press triangles toward the corner.

    Half-Square Triangles

    Here are two easy methods for making half-square triangles.

    No-Waste Method

    Refer to the project instructions for the sizes of the squares.

    This method starts with squares that are ⁷⁄8˝
