Review
I really recommend this book, it has introduced me to a whole heap of new concepts that I can't wait to try for myself. --Popular Patchwork
Product Description
This book teaches quilters how to create spiral quilt designs using shape, colour and dimension; how to plot a spiral template and how to sew a spiral quilt top. The basic template shapes are included on the CD and the pattern insert to help readers set up the perimeter shape, if they want a precise shape. Or, they can draw freehand irregular shapes that don't require a template.Any of the following three methods can be used to create your spiral design: by hand, completely freehand, using only a straight edge for Point-to-point, Pinwheel and Shape-in-Shape spirals; by hand, precisely, using a ruler to measure increments in each spoke for Pinwheel, Shape-in-Shape and Baravelle spirals - not necessary for Point-to-Point spirals; and on the computer - Electric Quilt works great for all types of spirals.

Now here is a book to have fun with! For those who have never tried this type of quilting before, the book covers almost everything from designing spiral blocks to making them up into spectacular quilts. The templates provided are superb, backed up by a disk containing pdf's to help with printing them out.
RaNae Merrill has left nothing to chance and I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone with a bit of quilting experience who wants to perhaps step outside of their comfort zone and try something adventurous. You will not be disappointed! Just one tip though - take frequent breaks to relax your eyes when working with spirals, unless you want to become permanently cross-eyed!

Format:Paperback
This 160-page book with CD-Rom shows you a beautiful way to quilt by an award-winning quilt designer. Learn the basic techniques of creating a spiral with four exciting variations. In addition, find out how to change direction, choose colours and fabrics for your quilt. Five complete projects are given plus an inspiring gallery of work by quilters. The templates included will come in very handy.
The projects look very complicated but there are some step-by-step instructions to guide you. The beginner is taken through preparation, cutting and sewing with handy hints all along the way. Contains information on spiral shapes and drawing. More colour co-ordination in the projects would provide better quilts in my humble opinion. If you want to use spirals in your quilts, you can do no better than this comprehensive guide.

Love this book!
This is a great book for the student of patchwork design technique.
It is in the same vein as another title 'Log Cabin with a Twist'. Foundation piecing is a must here too. Read more
