With the acceptance and availability of quality machine quilting, more and more quilters are making quilts for beds. Meanwhile, more and more people are buying queen- and king-size beds—the queen is now the standard in a majority of homes—and those beds are getting bigger and bigger! While the patterns in this book produce really big quilts—some of them will fit some king beds—all of them are easy to make. Many of the projects are triangle-free. The designs range from the classic to the contemporary, from soft and romantic to bright and bold. They include: --A very simple reversible bar quilt that uses a king-size sheet for the backing --A striking all-batiks quilt based on my original Millennium block (cover quilt) --A stunning Basketweave quilt that grades gently from aqua to deep blue --A romantic, blendy Blocks in a Box quilt made entirely from pretty floral prints --A classic Burgoyne Surrounded in reproduction vintage fabrics --A bold Calico Cornucopia quilt featuring a fine collection of Asian fabrics --A crisp blue and white Double Nine Patch --A dramatic sash-and-block Four Square quilt in red, black and caramel --A lush Nine Patch Strippy quilt in reds, greens and golds --A scrappy String Cross quilt like Grandmother might have made Also included: --Strategies for making quilts larger or smaller than the sizes given --Instructions for making pillowcases and shams Pleasant dreams!
