Material Obsession: Modern Quilts with Traditional Roots

Every day Kathy Doughty and Sarah Fielke, owners of the popular quilting shop Material Obsession in Sydney, Australia, share their enthusiasm for stitching fresh and modern quilts rooted in traditional designs with their customers. Now with their first book, named after their store (and their passion for fabric!), they spread their reach - and 23 of their vibrant designs - to quilters around the world. Organized by difficulty, from easy to advanced, the irresistible designs in Material Obsession range from simple block quilts that bring harmony to contemporary striped, spotted, and floral prints, to classic pinwheel designs featuring 1930s reproduction fabrics, to appliqued quilts that could be mistaken for antique were it not for the crisp newness of every leaf and petal.
