Rectrangles Book New Quick Piecing Tricks! by Pam Bono Designs.
The technique we are featuring in this book is not a new one. However, we have found a way to use it with our other quick piecing techniques. As you can see, it can give a design a completely different look, and round off sharp points, giving the pieced design an applique look.

It is simplified so that templates are no longer necessary, nor must you go through the proceedure of cutting the shapes; then trimming points, and finally matching triangular shapes to come up with a true rectangle.

The method that we have developed assures that point match, even though trimming is necessary only after the unit is made.

Most of the projects in this book are designed to teach you how the method works by using traditional blocks as a starting point. You will notice the huge difference this method can make, particularly with the traditional blocks in our Sampler quilt. In testing the procedure, we found that blocks in the Sampler quilt were assembled within 3 hour period. The people who pieced the blocks had never used the technique, and found it to be amazing how quickly the blocks went together.

Signed-By-Friends Quilts by Dori Hawks. Signing quilts to be given as gifts has been popular for many years, originating when quilting began. Friends signed blocks for a new bride and groom, for church fund-raisers and for special friends. They called them signature quilts. An experienced embroiderer usually embroidered the names on the blocks over the people's signatures.

With the invention of permanent fabric pens, quilters have continued this tradition. In this book, you will see signed blocks from a New York quilt event honoring the Statue of Liberty, quilting workshop teachers' signatures, signatures from an 80th birthday party, signatures of race car drivers, from members of a quilt guild honoring their, founder, from students paying homage to a favored teacher, names of butterfly varieties, an antique embroidered quilt, and signatures from a summer quilt festival.

Have everyone sign fabric squares at your child's next birthday party or get everyone on your child's sports team to sign squares. Use one as a fund raiser for your church, school or quilt guild. Your favorite, fund can sell opportunities to place a name on a quilt that will be given away to one of the lucky signers, with all the proceeds going to the organization. Meet some new quilters at a quilt event, honor a retiring teacher, or just record the names of your family members.

Whatever way you choose to use your signature quilt, it will memorialize the signers and provide a wonderful way to capture a special event.
