Millefiori Quilts #4 (Willyne Hammerstein)

After the international success of her first three books, Willyne Hammerstein is back in this fourth volume of Millefiori with a wealth of 19 new kaleidoscope pieced quilts. In her new book, you will find 19 quilt patterns of varying levels of difficulty—some are simple, while others are more ambitious.

Millefori is an italian glasswork technique to create beautiful flowers. In this book Willyne, creates beautiful rosettes of  pieced kaleidoscope blocks. She uses a variety of shapes to a striking geometric effect. She is passionate about color, geometric shapes,  Piecing and is second to none when creating kaleidoscopes of remarkable subtlety. Her philosophy of “try your best and be happy with the results” is an inspiration for all those who quilt.  And, most importantly, Willyne encourages us not to be afraid to try.
