Hop To It! Spectacular Blocks and Projects

If you have a passion for color, fabric and appliqué designs, then get ready for a visual feast in Hop To It! Spectacular Blocks and Projects, a brilliant first book by celebrated fabric designer and quilter Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts.

Known for her lush batik fabrics and pleasing color palette, Sitar has created 12 stunning appliqué blocks and eight inspiring projects. With easy-to-follow instructions and a fabulous presentation on selecting fabrics and combining colors, anyone can create the vibrant and eye-catching designs that have made Sitar a sought-after and beloved teacher.

Sitar guides your every step. Machine, fusible and hand appliqué methods are each explained with clear instructions and full color photographs. Dozens of colorful diagrams and illustrations follow as she presents each block individually; teaches how to construct it and then adapt it to a variety of home décor projects, ranging from pillows and quilts to framed art and wall hangings.

For those who prefer to create the striking appliqué designs on their embroidery capable sewing machine, Laundry Basket Quilts has also released the 12 block designs from Hop To It in digitized form on CD with the choice of 5” x 5” or 8” x 8” hoop sizes.

Sitar’s love for fabric and keen eye for color have made her one of the leading designers for Moda Fabrics. Quilting enthusiasts worldwide have eagerly awaited her first book in anticipation of its inspiration. So “Hop To It!” -- for fresh and lively ideas to create brilliant results.
