This book is the perfect resource for identifying blocks and getting inspiration for your quilts! You’ll find line drawings and coloured versions of 4,000+ blocks, plus their names and publishing information! Sewing patterns are not included

If you’re interested in rotary-cutting charts, templates, or foundation patterns for the blocks, check out BlockBase+ software!

Barbara Brackman’s classic quilter’s resource, the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, is fully modernized, updated with over 160 new blocks, and presented in full colour for the first time in this third edition! All of the 4,000+ pieced quilt block patterns found in this book are illustrated with both a line drawing and sample colour suggestions to ensure that you will never run out of inspiration! Quilters, quilt historians, and textile enthusiasts will love the detailed information on pattern names and publication sources included with each block pattern.

The book is easy to use in a multitude of ways: look up block designs by name to find a perfectly themed pattern, search by layout and construction information to find the name of the pattern in a historic quilt, or just browse the pages until your next quilting project catches your eye! Combine the book with BlockBase software (sold separately) to easily design and print custom templates, rotary charts, or foundation patterns for any of the blocks in the book.
