Free & Eazy Circles: Magic Ballz & Other Foundation Follies (Paperback) by Jan Mullen

This is a colorful, fun book full of ideas for bright, happy quilts. The technique involves piecing circles (ballz) on foundations such as stablized batting, then appliquing them onto blocks. The result is a raised design that has a nice padded look, which is attractive on its own, but can also be jazzed up with embroidery, beads or rick rack.

Jan also shows how to make padded pieces to use around the balls, or as edging around the entire piece. Lots of creative ideas for using the wonderful bright fabrics available to quilters today.

Much-loved author Jan Mullen is back with another laid-back collection of projects featuring circles No need for compasses here: easy free-hand techniques let you focus on the fun stuff, forget the measuring and math. The Magic Ballz Block and its variations are perfect for quilts, pillows, and more!

She also has some interesting ideas for free motion quilting designs. A very nice resource and addition to your quilting library.
