Vivacious Curvy Quilts

Show off your inner quilter with vivacious curvy piecing! Dianne Hire firmly believes in the power of play, and she demonstrates how to bring fun into any quilt with her easy-to-do curved piecing technique. Eleven wallhanging projects are self-developed as you learn the ins and outs of each technique. Multiple methods assure good results every time a curve is pieced, whether continuous, vessel-shaped, circular, crescent, or a combination. Approximately 100 photos of Dianne's work and pieces by her students show just how striking and innovative individual quilts can be when using vivacious curves. Before you know it, you've also learned significant design and color use strategies, which is typical of how Dianne teaches.
