  Description

  'Beam up' those UFOs and get started! Helen shows you how to turn your unfinished projects into finished quilts. Learn what type of quilting patterns are appropriate for your patchwork or appliquéd quilt tops. Follow her four-question formula to determine where and what to quilt. Based on the most popular workshop Helen teaches, Quilting UFOs offers visual solutions to the dilemma of 'quilt as desired.' Learn how easy it is to make any pattern fit your individual quilt top. Refer to the illustrated examples of mitered borders and blocks, all made with the same design, and simply choose your favorite. A galaxy of original patterns are divided into categories for easy reference. They are presented full-sized in a larger, landscape format for handy copying and use. This collection is the eighth in the Dear Helen series of quilting pattern books.
