The renowned quilt artist and author of Ruth McDowell’s Piecing Workshop offers an advanced class in piecing for quilters who have mastered the basics.

There are complete sets of diagrams, charts, illustrations and template patterns to recreate each design, along with advice and insight into the construction process. The book complements Ruth McDowell's Piecing: Expanding the Basics.
Symmetry
In this book, Ruth guides the quiltmaker in exploring and developing truly original designs. She presents 17 new quilts based upon the 17 pattern concepts, and she leads the reader through the fun of applying the concepts to the creation of new quilts. Her students have often called this process the most useful design workshop they have ever taken. For the beginning designer, she presents the possibilities inherent in very simple asymmetric block designs. Each chapter presents a new block design and a new concept, illustrated by a quilt shown in color, with templates, yardage chart, and directions. Each of the new blocks can be used in other symmetries to produce new patterns. And each of the concepts can be applied to thousands of other blocks.

Freedom Gone
Lolita Newman’s search to find her family connection with slavery moved her to create heirlooms linking her past to the present. She started Stitchin’ by the River Studio, a nod to her Cane River, La., roots. Her Freedom Gone quilts are rich in color and history. They depict slavery during the Civil War years, using images in black thread. The seven quilts and six projects bring past stories to life, showing common chores, family life, and slave quarters — and the quest for freedom. She hopes that these depictions warm your heart and stir your soul.
