A variety of books covering fiber arts are available from WABON-GUPTILL PUBLICATIONS, including a large selection of books on quilt making. Block Magic by Nancy Johnson-Srebro provides over 50 easy-to-complete block patterns available in four different sizes, with themes such as people and pets, holidays, toys, home, garden and more. Paula Nadelstern's Snowflakes & Quilts offers easy-to-follow full-size patterns for making four snowflake designs.

Cut Loose Quilts by Jan Mullen features 18 fun, colorful projects based on traditional quilt-block patterns but without using math or matching points. Add layers of visual interest to representational quilts with Ghost Layers & Color Washes by Katie Pasquini Masopust. With this book, discover how to make a design based on a photo or drawing, add a "ghost" shape that is lighter or darker than the base block colors, and create a color wash that allows for more color use in a quilt.
