365 Quilting Designs
Natalia Bonner
Longarm & Machine QuiltingA year's worth of quilting motifs and fillers, organized as a reference library rather than a project-based tutorial, spanning simple background fills to more intricate custom designs. Each design is presented as a diagram meant to translate to longarm or free-motion domestic work. Functions best as an idea book for quilters who already have the mechanics down and need design inspiration.
