Review of a new quilting book: Design, Make, Quilt Modern

Review of a new quilting book: Design, Make, Quilt Modern

Posted by Daisy Aschehoug on

Someday, I'll do a blog post of all the different quilters that influence and inspire me. Heather Black will be all over that list - she's an amazing designer, and I've said for a long time that I want to quilt like her when I grow up. Each time I see one of her new quilts, it's the quilting stitches that really capture my attention. She seems to know just the right motif that will fill a space in a way that perfectly coordinates with the piecing of a quilt.

New quilting book called Design, Make, Quilt Modern by Heather Black

Her new book, Design, Make, Quilt Modern has some really interesting sections on design tools and design basics. I'd never heard of an S-curve, and I was fascinated by her explanation of the different ways that odd-versus-even can play out in a quilt. I skimmed through the sections on color because I was so eager to get to the QUILTING, but I'll probably head back to them at some point to see what I can integrate into my own design process.

But, oh the quilt stitches! 

I love Heather's tips and thoughts on protecting depth in a quilt design with certain quilt motifs. I also like her analysis of what kinds of quilting will draw attention. I went through her exercises, and I came up with two main goals specifically for my own quilts:

  • Straight lines organized in a variety of shapes and directions
  • Straight or curved lines that echo the piecing and main design

These aren't a big surprise to me, but I've not gotten gutsy and included them in my rotation for a variety of reasons. I'm often rushing towards a deadline when I get to the end of the piecing, and that's not the best time to experiment or make big changes. (Especially when you're doing free motion quilting on a domestic or hand guided on a long arm!)

One ah-ha moment that I've had is that I need to set these quilting goals as I'm designing a quilt. I do have general goals for a design when I'm in the planning stages, but I only imagine what can be accomplished with color and texture in piecing and fabric selection. I think in order to grow as a quilter, I need to put more emphasis on what the quilting will do for me, and not let the quilting be an afterthought.

As someone who has designed quilts for a few years now, it seemed a little odd for me to purchase a book on designing modern quilts. But, there are always new things to learn. I've gotten a lot out of Heather's approach. Her advice is applicable to every kind of quilting style, and the structure of the book encourages you to apply what you're learning in real time. The quilt patterns included at the end are a nice bonus!

Whether you want to make your own quilt design or are just searching for new ways to be creative with fabric choices, I highly recommend Design Make Quilt Modern by Heather Black of Quiltachusetts!

  • 링크모음이 필요한 이유
    인터넷은 현대인의 생활에서 빼놓을 수 없는 중요한 공간이 되었습니다. 하루에도 수십 번씩 검색을 하고, 다양한 사이트를 방문하며 필요한 정보를 찾습니다. 하지만 정보의 양이 많아질수록 원하는 내용을 찾는 과정은 오히려 복잡해지고 있습니다. 이러한 환경에서 많은 사람들이 관심을 가지는 것이 바로 링크모음입니다.
    링크모음은 여러 웹사이트 주소를 한곳에 정리하여 사용자가 보다 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 만든 정보 구조입니다. 단순히 사이트 주소를 나열하는 것이 아니라 분야별, 목적별로 정리함으로써 필요한 정보를 빠르게 찾을 수 있도록 도와줍니다. 뉴스, 커뮤니티, 쇼핑, 금융, 교육, 생활정보 등 다양한 카테고리를 체계적으로 정리할 수 있다는 점이 큰 장점입니다.
    많은 사람들이 인터넷을 사용할 때 가장 많이 겪는 문제는 원하는 사이트를 기억하지 못하거나 찾는 데 시간이 오래 걸린다는 점입니다. 자주 방문하는 사이트라면 즐겨찾기를 이용할 수 있지만, 가끔 이용하는 사이트는 주소를 잊어버리는 경우가 많습니다. 이럴 때 링크모음은 필요한 사이트를 쉽게 찾을 수 있는 길잡이 역할을 합니다.
    링크모음
    최근에는 정보의 양이 폭발적으로 증가하면서 검색 결과 역시 매우 방대해졌습니다. 검색엔진을 이용해도 원하는 사이트를 바로 찾지 못하는 경우가 적지 않습니다. 링크모음은 이러한 문제를 줄여주며 사용자가 목적에 맞는 사이트를 더욱 효율적으로 찾을 수 있도록 도와줍니다.
    특히 모바일 환경에서는 링크모음의 가치가 더욱 높아집니다. 스마트폰 화면은 제한적이기 때문에 여러 검색 결과를 확인하는 과정이 번거로울 수 있습니다. 체계적으로 정리된 링크모음은 이러한 불편을 줄여주고 빠른 정보 접근을 가능하게 합니다.
    링크모음은 단순한 편의 기능이 아니라 정보 활용 능력을 높이는 중요한 도구입니다. 정보를 찾는 데 소비하는 시간을 줄이고 필요한 내용을 빠르게 확인할 수 있다는 점에서 앞으로도 많은 사용자들에게 유용한 역할을 할 것으로 기대됩니다.
