Pressestimmen
Tile Quilt Revival by by Carol Gilham Jones & Bobbi Finley. I've always been drawn to murals made out of tiles and this quilt book is right there to satisfy my predeliction for them. This type of quilt was popular in the 19th Century. The ones in the book use contemporary fabrics to modernize this charming quilting tradition that I was not aware of. Oh, I've seen some quilts that look like mosaics, but these look more like tile when you browse the 6 projects they include. I look forward to making a tile quilt in the near future. If you've seen one or two, tell me about it. I'd like to learn more about these beauties.--A Quilting Reader's Garden, April 2, 2010
Kurzbeschreibung
Rediscover the wonderful world of tile quilts with these projects that combine traditional design with modern fabrics. Inspired by nineteenth-century tile quilts, these projects work beautifully with today's colorful and contemporary fabrics, but retain the folk-art charm that makes them so much fun to sew and show off. "Tile Quilt Revival" features six beautiful projects that teach quilters how to design and construct various styles of tile quilts, a short but fascinating history of the style, and an inspirational photo gallery of historic and contemporary quilts.

What's old is new again
4. März 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Tile Quilt Revival: Reinventing a Forgotten Form is Carol Gilham Jones and Bobbi Finley's fascinating, educational, and inviting book that reintroduces this "unique and somewhat obscure" form of appliqué quilt.
Tile quilts are explained this way:
"Traditional tile quilts... are constructed with small pieces of cotton fabric appliquéd in a random manner to a white background, leaving a narrow space between the pieces; this white space serves as the "grout" between the tiles or 'mortar' between the pavers or stones."
The books starts out with a brief history of tile quilts, with great photos showing examples from the past. Then comes a section on how to make a tile quilt, reinterpreted for today. When I read the following, the heavens opened up and I heard the heavenly choir!
"The tile quilt technique, with its large and simple shapes, creates an ideal showcase for bold, contemporary fabrics. Interesting, large-scale prints are will suited for the tile pieces. If you've ever found yourself admiring some of the daring prints now available but wondering how to use them, a tile quilt is an idea project for putting them to good use."
Hallelujah! I have a tub of fabrics in my stash labeled "Modern" that has been... well... sitting there. Now my "daring" prints have a destiny!
The techniques used in the book are so simple they're ingenious! No need to consider seam allowances, to reverse patterns, or to figure out where to place the pieces. Another really great thing about this book is that it has fantastic appliqué instructions... needle-turn by hand, turned-edge machine-appliqué and fusible machine appliqué too, all expertly explained and illustrated. How about this section where the authors say:
"Even if you don't love to appliqué or don't consider yourself to be skilled at it, chances are you will enjoy the tile quilt process because it is not exacting. The tile-and-grout form is quite forgiving, and the inevitable deviations from strict uniformity in the grout add to the visual interest and appeal of a piece."
After the appliqué information, there are instructions for several projects with full-size pull-out patterns. Then there's a Gallery of Contemporary Tile Quilts. These are fun and inspiring to look at as you see what quilters of today are doing to reinvent the form.

A fine choice for quilters seeking something different
18. Mai 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Tile Quilt Revival is a 'must' for any quilter's collection because it reinvents a nearly forgotten quilting form, and won't be seen in every quilter's guide. It offers 6 projects teaching about design and construction of tile quilts modern and traditional, including a history of the quilts, a photo gallery, and tips for using a favorite applique method to achieve them. Large-size patterns in back make this a fine choice for quilters seeking something different.

I had seen an antique quilt made in this fashion, and was fascinated by the technique. Of course I could not really recall the details, until I saw the availability of this book.
Finally something "new and original"... Well written and clear explanation and instructions.
