Projects are varied for any skill level or time commitment—make a few hexagons, make a few more, or make few hundred.

Tacha is one of those talented crafters whose fabric choices and original patterns reflect the eye of a modern quilter, but who simultaneously pays homage to the history and traditions of quilting. The result is a beautiful book that is sure to become a classic!” —quiltdad.com “What makes Tacha’s book different and worth buying is that she has added a modern twist—with wonky piecing, white sashing, embroidery, raw-edge applique and a color palette and fabric choices that scream ‘modern.’” —Australian Homespun Magazine
