In this, her second book, Georgia Bonesteel simplifies the art of quilting. She shows us how quilting is possible and plausible for today’s busy woman.

Updating her first book, Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel, she takes you step-by-step through planning your quilt, transferring your templates, and piecing your blocks.

Full-size, easy-to-trace templates and quilting stencils are included for over 60 new, exciting quilt designs. Her brand new quick-piecing techniques will save you time at your sewing machine and her discovery of the flexicurve will enable you to sew and flip curves in a jiffy.

Georgia Bonesteel’s fresh, sophisticated approach to the traditionally popular sampler quilt gives you a chance to experiment with new style and flair. To help you create your own sampler quilt, she shows different ways to set old familiar patterns together.

For those interested in quilting with a group, the author gives suggestions on how to organize a new guild, along with some do’s and don’ts for planning a guild project.

The many precise diagrams, complete easy-to-follow directions, and beautiful full color photographs make More Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel a valuable text for beginning quilters and experienced quilters alike. This book is a perfect companion to her first volume Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel.
