The resulting projects are a sight to see!

Posted by Popular Patchwork Magazine, May 2015 on Jun 25th 2015

We’ve featured an extract from this book on page 60 of this month’s issue; if you’ve already looked over Sujata Shah’s Crazy Quilt then you’ll know that the author is an inspired designer. Sujata has a unique perspective on the craft, being born in Mumbai and moving to the USA later. She describes in her introduction how as an adolescent she would love fabrics but found sewing crushingly dull, telling her mother she would ‘rather die than hold a needle’! Later in life, after moving to the States and getting married, she discovered a love of quilting, luckily for us, and took much inspiration from fusing the styles of her native India and American folk art and Amish quilting. The resulting projects are a sight to see! The 15 free form block projects featured in this book are a celebration of this “melting pot,” and brim with ideas. The book is accompanied, refreshingly, with photographs illustrating some of the inspirations and stories behind the projects, and it’s a pleasure to see how Sujata has translated them into works of quilted excellence.
