The step-by-step photographs show how to make your own plastic stencils from the patterns in the book, and how to mark your quilts with the newest tools and pens available. A handy reference icon identifies patterns already sold as stencils. Pepper Cory authored two classic books of quilting designs - Quilting Designs from the Amish and Quilting Designs from Antique Quilts. This book includes the very best patterns from both books and the patterns have been completely redrawn, and compiled into this new collection of five dozen patterns. Twenty original patterns were resized to fit a standard 8-inch block for easier enlargements, reductions, and scanning. Some of the traditional patterns were updated into continuous-line designs for today's machine quilters. A few new blocks were designed to co-ordinate with the originals.
