Michelle J. Linder's wonderful way with squares yields dozens of variations that even the newest quilter can make to create hundreds of beautiful blocks. See how one little square can be made into 12 different units that are mixed and matched to create Nine-Patch patterns. These units can be stand-alone blocks or be combined with other units to make spectacular quilts. Project possibilities are endless. Instructions for table runners, placemats, mantel scarves, and more are included. This method is completely foolproof because the accuracy is already built in. All you need are squares. The small sizes of the projects make them ideal for busy quilters and all can be adapted to any colorway. Quick and easy to machine piece and assemble, these magic squares are addictive! They re fat eighth- and fat quarter-friendly, too. OUT OF PRINT
