Ann comes to quilting as a stained glass artist with the luxury of auditioning glass pieces throughout the design process before a piece is finished. By using a simple fusing technique that treats fabric patches as though they were glass, she shows how quilters can make an entire quilt without sewing until the three basted layers are quilted. Use her 7 patterns or create your own, try out fabrics on a forgiving fusible background, replace patches until you're satisfied, layer, and stitch. Her turned-edge technique gives an elegant look to any quilt. No more ripping out stitches because there's no sewing until you quilt!
