"This collection of stunning pieces is designed by Dee Hardwicke using felted tweed and felted tweed aran. This book aims to inspire your creativity with its fairisle and intarsia motif hexagons, which you can then use to create your own unique blanket."

"The intarsia knitting technique is a wonderful way of translating images into richly coloured knitted motifs and it's perfect for creating knitted pictures in quilt-making. The motifs in this book are knitted into hexagonal sections which are then sewn together to create a quilt. When working in intarsia you have the freedom to use as few as two colours or as many colours as your design requires so you can be incredibly creative. In this booki, I'll take you through the process of designing and knitting an intarsia heirloom quilt full of unique memories...(Dee Hardwicke)" --P. 8.
