Synopsis: Easy-to-master techniques for creating vibrant art quilts and colorful accessories.

Colorful Fabric Collage walks the reader through the techniques that renowned quilter Sue Bleiweiss uses to create her colorful, vibrant art quilts. Readers will learn easy fusing techniques that serve as the basis for her design, along with ideas for keeping and using a sketchbook, hand-dyeing fabric, and adding further embellishments. Offering techniques and projects, Colorful Fabric Collage leads readers through the steps to successfully design, fuse, and quilt 14 projects based on Sue's signature style.

Sue inspires readers to tap into their own creativity by encouraging them to personalize each project with uniquely meaningful images. They are invited to draw on the project pattern drawings and then encouraged to sketch their own quilt designs from scratch. They'll also be emboldened by the easy-to-master techniques for sketching quilt designs, fusing layers of fabric into a collage, and embellishing and finishing each piece in a clever way.
