Kurzbeschreibung
This title helps you learn how to create your very own one-of-a-kind quilts with free-form cutting and piecing. You can enjoy the freedom of free-form! In this follow-up to the hugely popular "Create Your Own Hand-Printed Cloth", Rayna shares her "can't make a mistake" approach to designing quilts. You can learn how to trust your instincts so you can work more intuitively, and develop a new appreciation for the therapy of sewing without a plan. With these new skills, you can create new work from leftovers and scraps, dig into those favourite fabrics, and transform all those unfinished projects!

Format:Taschenbuch
Rayna Gillman, die in langer Praxis die Techniken des Quiltens vollkommen gemeister hat, ermutigt hier zu freien Ausdrucksformen. Zugegeben, für alle, die sich bisher im Raster der herkömmlichen Muster bewegt haben, die glücklich sind, vom Nine Patch über Pinwheels zu verschiedenen Sternformen etliche Patterns zu beherrschen, ist es ein Schritt, sich "langweilige, nur herumliegende" Blocks herzunehmen und einfach hineinzuschneiden. Rayna nimmt die Furchtsamen an die Hand und führt sie in eine Welt von neuen Möglichkeiten ein. Keine Angst! Mit ihr verlassen Sie die ausgetretenen Pfade und kombinieren die Bruchstücke zu aufregend schönen Kompositionen, die sich aus diesen Methoden ergeben. Wunderbare Bilder von Arbeiten der Quilterinnen, die von Rayna gelernt haben oder von ihr inspiriert wurden, machen das Buch zu einem Augenschmaus. Es ist in erster Linie eine Herangehensweise, die den Text so wichtig macht, wichtiger als die ebenfalls nützlichen technischen Anleitungen. Rayna ist Künstlerin. Sie malt mit Stoffen, die sie zum Teil selber druckt. Das erlaubt ihr, die Grenzen, die von der "Quiltpolizei" gezogen werden, zu überspringen. Springen Sie mit!

Review of Create Your Own Free-Form Quils
16. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
"Create Your Own Free-Form Quilts" by Rayna Gillman is a great book for budding art quilters, beginning quilters, and quilters who just don't follow the 'Quilting Rules'! Gillman gives you the freedom of using batiks, hand-dyed fabrics, commercial fabrics, hand-printed fabrics and leftover blocks and UFO's (unfinished objects), all in one quilt.. This is definitely a book for green quilters. It's also a book for angry quilters, because you get to sew and then, cut it up, and if you want, you can cut it up some more! Create Your Free-Form Quilts gives you ideas of what to do when you have finished cutting, the use of colors, and putting it altogether. Don't worry if you can't find a pattern to use. Make one yourself! And you probably won't have to buy any new fabric! (Oh, that's not so good, is it?) But, you will save $$$. The quilt ideas in this book are fun and just think, the quilts you make will be completely yours!

What if.......no more excuses
19. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the first quilt book I've ever sat down and read from cover to cover! It was easy reading, easy to understand and the of course the eye-candy is delicious. I enjoyed her first book immensely, but this is a whole different technique.
I've been trying to recreate Rayna's style on my own, but just couldn't get it to work. Not understanding how she whacked away at the blocks/strip sets was part of the problem. Now I understand her process and am looking forward to many hours using fabrics I am otherwise tired of.
"What if" I actually spend some time in the studio and like what I produce!!??? I have faith it will happen now!

The stress free way to creating original, eclectic and visually engaging quilts
25. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is your key to learning how to create original, eclectic and visually engaging quilts without feeling the need to follow rules about seam sizes or what fabric and color combinations to use. You'll find Rayna's stress free approach to free form cutting, piecing and blending that stack of hand dyed and printed fabric you have with the off the shelf commercial prints a refreshing way to approach creating your next quilt.
Broken down into 8 main chapters beginning with some guidelines on getting organized and ways to sort your fabrics. This opening chapter will have you thinking twice about tossing that ugly fabric you think is unusable after you read the case study of an ugly fabric that beautifully illustrates that no matter how ugly you think a piece of fabric is, if you cut it up it can be transformed into something wonderful. Now that you're looking at your fabric stash with fresh eyes it's time to start cutting and sewing strips. No rulers necessary for this step. Strips are cut free hand and Rayna's clearly illustrated directions on how to cut and sew strips of various widths as well as how to create strip sets with curved edges are easy to follow and understand. The next several chapters of the book show you how to transform those strip sets by slicing, dicing, combining, adding borders and strip slices, cutting and rotating and encourage you to continue to be fearless with your rotary cutter and to trust your instincts with regards to color combinations without worrying about breaking any rules about what color should be placed to the one next to it.
In the last chapter of the book Rayna introduces you to working with a design wall and your design partners, "ad hoc" and "slow". Again taking a no rules approach here to spontaneous creating she doesn't just show you a finished quilt but illustrates with photos the process of auditioning different options for putting together modules of your strip steps. This chapter has a different tone than the rest of the book in that Rayna encourages you to approach the design and composition of your quilt with your strip sets and modules at a slower more thoughtful pace. Taking time to step back from your design, reflect on and letting it evolve without rushing through it.
Rayna has a engaging conversational tone that make the book a very enjoyable read and the entire book is beautifully illustrated with clear, bright, vibrant photographs of step by step directions, examples and artwork.
