Vivacious Curvy Quilts

by: Dianne Hire
American Quilter’s Society; $26.95

Wow, Dianne Hire likes to play with possibilities!

Once she gets you started with learning her curvy techniques, you are in for some fun. She begins with explaining how to cut gentle curves from stacked squares (or rectangles) and then how to piece them. After that the fun begins with where you cut your curves and the number of colors you use.

Design possibilities are endless as she leads you through 11 design projects. I had a favorite – circular curves with windmills. The book includes lots of photos for inspiration and some nifty tips, including one on using kitchen tongs to help with any fear of free-form rotary cutting.

Look for the book at your favorite quilt retailer. Here’s a link to Amazon if you would like to learn more about the book.
