Quilt Local: Finding Inspiration in the Everyday (with 40 Projects)

I love the layout of this book and appreciate the beautiful photos. These quilts really, truly convey the feel of “hometown” and reflect her personality and vision. Proud to have it on my bookshelf; I pull it out to thumb through it just for the pleasure of it sometimes.

Recommended by Alabama Chanin. I got a few ideas to use while incorporating Alabama Chanin techniques versus true quilting techniques which I do not have the patience for. I consider this book more inspirational rather than making the projects presented, but that is just me.

Great designs in this book

Gorgeous quilts, clear instructions. Heather has truly written a great book.

This book's first section on color theory is better than most books. I would have loved have seen more on the where and how inspiration can be translated into quilts.There are 20 patterns in the book and each pattern is made in 2 color ways. Many of the patterns are very, very simplistic. Many of the patterns are just 1 12 inch block with the rest of the quilt open space. Most of the quilts are made with solid fabrics...some print fabrics are used and they are not to my liking but could appeal to others.I do plan on making one or two of the quilts. Some patterns I would want to modify extensively to add more interest.

I know Heather personally and adore her as a person and as an artist. Everything about this book is just gorgeous, from the type font to the layout, the photos, and the quilts themselves. Really special book, belongs on every quilter's bookshelf!

Gorgeous book. I love it & am excited to make many of these quilts. Great photos!!

Came quickly and I absolutely love the content. Excellent selection!
