Quilt Remix by Emily Cier CLOSED

I have been a long-time fan of Emily Cier’s quilt designs from her pattern company, Carolina Patchworks. So when she wrote and asked if I’d be interested in joining the blog tour for her new book, it was a total no-brainer.  I knew the book would be well-designed, well-written, and have lots of very cool ideas.  I was (as usual–ahem) not mistaken.

Quilt Remix is a small volume that packs a lotta punch.  Emily has taken 10 traditional quilt patterns–like the Log Cabin, Flying Geese, and Dresden Plate–and made them modern, fresh, new, and very cool.  Her simple twists, like varying the size of fabric cuts and altering the symmetry of some of these traditional blocks, make each design seem like something you’ve never seen before, even though you almost certainly have.

As with all of Emily’s designs, the patterns in the book are clearly written and simple to follow–even for the more complicated blocks.  She varies the necessary skill level–from beginner to intermediate–but makes sure that you have the tools to be successful with each one.  As someone who has been interested in more traditional, classic quilt designs but less-than-inspired by some of the examples out there for inspiration, I love that I could pick up this little volume and find something to get excited about.

Probably my favorite part about each pattern is the way Emily gives the variations necessary to make each quilt in crib, throw, twin or queen sizes.  I’m actually not totally sure why this struck such a chord with me, except that it makes me feel like I have more control over the design and the outcome, and that maybe I can see a little more clearly how to alter the pattern to suit my needs.  I like patterns that teach me as I work with them, you know.

If you’re new to quilting, I love that this book gives you a great way to test drive some familiar shapes with some new perspective.  And can I point out: Emily’s fabulous patterns sell for $9-12 each (a bargain, considering how cool they are); this book sells for $16.95!  So, for less than the cost of two patterns, you could totally have patterns for TEN, plus inspiring variations to boot.  It’s a seriously good deal, y’all.

I’m delighted to add that I have a copy of Quilt Remix to GIVE AWAY! Because I want you to get all the sewing your little heart desires, and I want you to have the tools to do it.  To win, simply leave a comment and tell me why you like to (or would like to) quilt with modern patterns and designs.  That’s it!  Comments will be open through Monday, January 24.  Winner will be announced Tuesday, January 25.

    I haven’t tried too many contemporary or modern patterns because I’m generally a fan of symmetry, however Emily and a few others have brought me around to a new way of looking at modern, and I’m jumping into my first one this year. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

    I’ve been sewing for about 10 years, but I have never attempted a quilt because I thought they were too “old” looking. Now that I’m seeing so many wonderful new fabrics and designs, I’m ready to dip my toes into the world of quilting. I’m not sure if this would be a good beginner’s book, but I’m sure it will offer plenty of useful tips for me.

    I entered the quilting world as a trad quilter, following in the tradition of my grandmother. I have begun to quilt in a more modern way, creating quilts of my own design incorporating much more “space” and focusing on the prints I feature. I absolutely love the idea of this book, because I haven’t yet found a way to bring the trad quilt world and the modern quilt world together, on my own. Thanks for the giveaway!

    My grandmother is the quilter in the family–quilts for everyone and then some (we have four in our house alone!) fly out of her able and skilled hands. I’d love to make a quilt for HER, something she’d enjoy but also something she’s never seen or tried before. These quilts would certainly fit that role–I think I’d love to make it, and I know she’d love to receive it!

    Having been a quilter since the early 90’s, I’m a wee bit tired of traditional quilts. I have definitely moved onto patterms with a more modern twist, whether via blocks or fabric selection. I would love a copy of this book. I’m especially curious about how Emily writes up instructions for creating the circle blocks.

    After years of the traditional type of quilting, twisting things up a bit really adds interest and shows a person confident enough to ‘break the rules’. I’m not creative enough to do it on my own I don’t think, so really appreciate books and the net showcasing some prime examples.

    When I started to think about trying to make quilts, I was instantly drawn to the bright colours and simple shapes of the quilts made by bloggers such as Oh Fransson and Film in the Fridge. Then I learned that this type of quilting had a name – modern. I’ve now made two quilts in this style and would love some more guidance from a book such as this one.

    I love the idea of using modern patterns for quilts because it lets you
    put a bit of your own personality and style into what used to be a traditional pattern. A lot of them allow you to use the big prints to their full design potential.

    I love the look of her quits. It’s so fun to see modern fabrics in new patterns.

    What better thing is there than to create something (to be enjoyed by someone else!) that represents the past with a beautiful twist for the present, too??

    I’m a new quilter (only on my 2nd quilt) but I have been sewing all my life. The new modern look of quilting is what got me started quilting and I would love this book!

    I love seeing new designs–not that the oldies aren’t goodies, but it’s nice to look at something you’ve never seen before!
