Patchworken und Quilten

Patchwork and quilting are ancient handcraft techniques that have produced many traditional methods and classic patterns. Since the beginning of the 21st century, a modern style has emerged that focuses on a clear, strong visual impact. The block structure and symmetry are broken up, vibrant colors are arranged in minimalist patterns, improvised, and play with negative space. In her handbook, Uta Hanson presents a variety of techniques and provides beginners as well as advanced practitioners with all the essential knowledge—from the equipment to modern patchwork and quilting by hand or machine, to finishing techniques.
