    Description

    Enjoy mixing and matching techniques and design options when assembling these quilts. Margie Engel takes the 'daunting' out of design with these 8 happy, fun wallhanging projects. Each chapter teaches a different design technique plus a project, so you're learning while doing and not even noticing how much you've stretched outside your comfort zone. You'll understand the four concepts of design much better with every stitch.

    Reviewer: James A. Cox, Edtor-in-Chief from Oregon, WI, USA

    Margie Engel's "Some Assembly Required: Mixed Technique Quilts" teaches the basics of mixing and assembling eight quilts using a pre-printed panel, blending applique with piecing, and offers large-scale fabrics and photos to make wallhangings, quilts, and more. Patterns, bright color photos and clear step-by-step directions make this a fine winner for any needleworker seeking to blend different quilting styles. --James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, The Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review, January 2012.

    Reviewer: Vivian Benton from Pittsburgh, PA

    I LOVE THIS BOOK. Margie Engel has done an excellent job of combining different designs and techniques (applique, trapunto, machine embroidery, photos, embellishments) into exciting quilt projects. If you have a piece of fabric you haven't wanted to cut up (who doesn't?) you can adapt some of the techniques she illustrates in this book to further highlight the beauty of your fabric without cutting it into little pieces.

    This book is helpful for those of us who want to design an original quilt but don't know where to start. Not overwhelming, large block components will be helpful to figure out what to do with panel prints.
