Patrick Lose's Special Delivery Quilts

A collection of original designs for quilts for babies. Patrick Lose's pastel colour scheme highlights whimsical designs with a contemporary twist, and the piecing and applique techniques should be easily followed. There are eight projects for wall-hangings and crib-sized quilts, including sleepy-time moon and stars, rocking horse, teddy bear, train, and Patrick's signature hearts.

Patrick Lose's hallmark style suffuses these eight charming projects: vivid colors, cheerful motifs, excellent directions, and full-size patterns. A nice balance of appliqué and piecework means they can be handled by quilters of varying skill levels, though beginners may have trouble with some of the more detailed appliqué work. Motifs include a rocking horse, sleeping moon and stars, and a gleeful baby in a bathtub. --Amy Handy
