About the book >.>.> THE DIFFERENT WAYS-A PERSONAL APPROACH As you will see from the quilt projects the authors of this book – Mary Jenkins and Clare Claridge – have very different methods of making quilts and a personal approach to selecting fabrics. You are presented with a choice: which way do you want to make your quilt? It is for you to decide. Clare collects and lectures on Welsh quilts and has made a special study of quilting patterns; she is also known for her expertise in teaching rotary cutting. Some years ago she began devising ways of making small-scale replicas of Welsh quilts using these techniques. Through day schools and demonstrations she has enabled many students to make a quilt very quickly and then take their time quilting it with the traditional Welsh motifs (see pages 104-112). The fabrics Clare chooses are as near as she can find to those of the original quilt but the change in size means that the patterned fabrics may need to be smaller in scale. Clare is a great admirer of Amish quilts and enjoys working with plain colours. Along with many other experts she has been struck by the similarity between some Amish and Welsh wool quilts and many of her quilts reflect this fondness for simple shapes in plain and sombre colours used in a dramatic way.
