Loosening up with Piece O’ Cake Designs

I’ve been editing the Piece O’ Cake books ever since Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins became C&T authors so I know their work really well. I’m really excited about their new book Applique Outside the Lines.

It presents a new approach–more spontaneous and improvisational–and the quilts are fabulous. As Becky says in the book about making her first improvisational quilt:

In making this quilt I realized that I am so used to following my pattern that not doing that was hard. But the more I sewed, the more I found myself enjoying the freedom of not following the lines. It was not about being sloppy, it was about making more interesting lines in the quilt!

I hope you’ll take a look at this new book and loosen up with Becky and Linda.
