Everything you need to know about quilt marking all in one handy reference book, by the author of 65 Drunkard’s Path Quilt Designs.

Quilting stitches do more than hold the layers of quilt together—they add light, shadow, and dimension to create a two-sided work of art. This comprehensive reference on quilt marking is the result of Pepper Cory’s years of teaching quilt marking. Inside, you’ll learn:

• How to choose designs that complement and contrast with the quilt top

• All about marking tools

• How to make the quilt design match in the borders and corners, plus 10 ways to mark a border that do not involve matching

• How to make your own quilting stencils

• How to preserve a quilt design found on an old quilt

• Quilting from the judge’s point of view

Features photos of inspiring antique and newly-made quilts.
