Free-Form Quilts and Patchwork, Jessie Cutts
Free-Form Quilts invites readers to embrace a more intuitive approach to patchwork, where creativity takes precedence over precision and unexpected outcomes become part of the process. Textile artist Jessie Cutts encourages makers to move beyond rigid patterns and meticulous planning, exploring colour, composition, and fabric through improvisation, experimentation, and play.
Combining practical guidance with inspiring photography of her own work, the book offers exercises, projects, and techniques designed to build confidence while leaving space for individual expression. From loose checkerboards and tonal stripes to hand-stitched mini quilts, each project celebrates the beauty of spontaneity, making this an ideal companion for quilters seeking a freer, more personal relationship with cloth.
