Quilting has for the past 20+ years been one of my passions. When I started quilting here in Norway around 1980 there were very few quilters around. And I started in the most simple way, cutting fabrics and piecing it together.
During the years quiltbooks came on the market, and it was always interesting to see new techniques.Then, I think it was in 1993 Nancy J. Martin came to Norway to give quilt classes. I spent a week-end with her and learned so many new things, a whole new world opened for me.
Nancy J. Martin has written more than 25 books on quiltmaking, and she is the founder and president og That Patchwork Place Inc, the publisher of America's Best-Loved Quilt Books. Nancy introduced me to the Bias Square cutting ruler, for me, and many quilters with me, a totally new way of cutting your fabric and sewing it together again to make the most wonderful patterns.
In this book Nancy J. Martin shows us the bias ruler - a way to make the most wonderful quilts with a scrappy look in her new and time-saving technique. From simple, but intricate looking friendship star quilts, to scrappy house quilts, Ocean Waves, Road to Oklahoma.....you find them all in this book. The book starts with a full color gallery section, and you also find color illustrations and photos all through the book. A must for every quilters book collection.
