First-time authors Patricia K. Speth and Charlene Thode have been teaching workshops and organizing quilt retreats since they met in 1993. They have spent the last four years designing original patterns and collecting more than 240 block patterns that can be used with their "nickel" technique.
Nickel Quilts
"Each of the quilt patterns in this book is rated by skill level -- easy, beginner, or intermediate -- based on the degree of piecing difficulty. Once you've used our easy unit-construction methods to make your first nickel quilt, you'll be ready to move on to one of the more challenging projects." From inside book.
