I find these quilts stunning!
Yes there is - the books I learned from are the One Block Wonder books by Maxine Rosenthal... it's a technique and you need to learn the principles. The actual design is then your own. But those books do have quilts in this style - the layouts always vary but that is the beauty of them - and coming up with ways to do the borders, embellishments etc. :-D For me it's been a learning curve - my eariler ones were more straightforward but I'm getting more and more adventurous the more I make. I'm up to about 17 now! :shock: :lol:
