Book Hero thinking about your next read

Quilters love collecting these precut bundles, but often don’t know what to do with them. Because they are a specific cut of fabric (18 x 22’’ instead of a ¼ yard cut from fabric that measures 9 x 44’’ and is much less usable) the instructions for a project need to be specifically written to accommodate these fat quarter cuts. 

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

By the Bundle is an inventive and inspirational quilting guide from Australian author Emma Jean Jansen. Transform from "fat" to fab in no time with this engaging resource designed for quilters and aspiring quilters. If you're familiar with quilting, you likely know about fat quarters—quarter yard cuts of fabric that measure precisely 18" x 22". There's nothing quite like a collection of beautifully coordinated fabrics, neatly folded into a bundle and tied with a bow, inviting you to dive in.

Fat quarter bundles are more popular than ever, making it the perfect time for a DIY book like By the Bundle. Discover 12 stunning fat quarter quilting projects that will bring dazzle to any room. These 18" x 22" cuts allow you to experiment with a variety of fabrics, although sometimes the amount isn't enough for an entire quilt. By the Bundle addresses this challenge by providing 12 projects, ranging from beginner-friendly to more complex, expertly designed to transform fat quarters into complete and impressive quilts.

By the Bundle includes 12 quilting projects such as:

  • Boxes and crosses
  • Diamonds and squares
  • Rainbow pyramids
  • Butterflies
  • Star bursts

Maximize your fabric yield while creating the most glorious quilts. Whether working with a single fabric collection or a complementary mix of various fabric lines, By the Bundle provides the tools and inspiration you need to transform fat quarters into fabulous quilts.

Emma Jean Jansen has more than a decade of experience in the patchwork and quilting industry. She studied Textile Design at RMIT and is currently a fabric designer for the Australian company Ella Blue, available from Charles Parsons. She shares her work on her blog, emmajeanjansen.com.au, and resides in Australia.
