Time is one thing that most of us never seem to have enough of. With other responsibilities of home, family, work and more, time for our favorite hobbies sometimes takes a back burner. Its important to make time for ourselvesto refresh, stimulate and do something that makes us happy! Quilting is my go-to when I need time just for myself. Having projects that sew up quickly gives me that much-needed sense of accomplishment and also the opportunity to make a quick gift if the need arises. Each of the nine projects in this book are ones that can be pieced in a weekend.

With a little preplanning, you can have a finished top in no time. From table toppers to bed quilts, having the fabrics chosen and pieces precut ahead of time will allow you to get right to sewing when the time is right. Browse through this book, choose a favorite pattern (or two) and get ready for a fun weekend of sewing. Ive already got mine picked out!
