Katharine Guerrier shows how to create her freely pieced house blocks and put them together to make your own lively and quirky scrap house quilt. Quilts using this formula can be made any size, incorporating different elements and techniques: novelty fabric for gardens, farmyard or sky, curved seams for landscape panels, block samples left over from previous projects and oddments of fabric you will almost certainly have in your scrap bag.

Follow these guidelines and techniques, and watch the author demonstrating on the video clips, then add your own ideas, orphan blocks and variations, to make your own unique quilt. The interest is kept up as you work because decisions are made as you construct the quilt. It’s almost as if you can make it up as you go along!

Katharine Guerrier, acclaimed quilter, teacher and author, has written many books including Scrap Quilt Sensation and Quilting from Start to Finish (David & Charles) plus three Rainbow Disks: Patchwork Postcards and Pinboard Quilts, Scrap Quilt Projects and Scrap Quilts for Babies and Toddlers. Trained at Camberwell School of Art in London, Katharine has been making quilts and embroideries since 1980. Katharine is a regular contributor to UK and US magazines.
