Or balk at stretchy bias? Fed up with all those folded corner?Get out - or buy - your favorite glue baster and a pinking rotary blade for the seam-saving “layered piecing” techniques in Cozy Quilts and Comforts by Lynne Hagmeier.She has a unique predilection for Moda’s Kansas Troubles fabric lines that represent a dark part of American history. Quite literally, in fact. Ardent fans can be challenged by the deeply saturated color palettes, low contrast prints, and neutrals that are more yellow than white. Finished products can tend toward the primitive more than the polished. (NOT that there’s anything wrong with that.)Ms. Hagmeier has designed 11 patchwork projects that overcome all this by showing off these fabrics in richly traditional designs. Best of all, almost every project features a secondary project, such as a mini-quilt or a pillow.But most importantly, the author outlines her time-saving techniques, making every project in Cozy Quilts and Comforts ideal for beginners and anyone – admittedly like herself - who loves to break all the rules.So what exactly is “layered patchwork”?First, Hagmeier uses pinked pre-cuts and/or a rotary cutter with a pinked-edge cutting blade. Templates are also used occasionally. Then, instead of joining a block’s pieces by sewing them together, 1 piece - sometimes pinked, sometimes not - gets glue-basted atop a background piece. Refillable Sewline-brand glue pens are recommended. Next, the pinked piece gets topstitched 1/8th of an inch along the sides, using a 70/10 needle and 2.5 millimeter stitch length.And yes, that teeny edge is left free to do whatever time, usage, and washing will throw at it. Clearly, this technique does not create heirloom quality masterpieces. But the designs are lovely. Clever quilting lines can further enhance the pieced but not really pieced quilts. Ironically, there are STILL many folded corners and half-square triangles in the patterns. You know, just to keep your skills from getting rusty.Sizes range from a king-sized bed quilt to pillow coverings. A wide variety of scrappy block patterns are made using simple layouts: 9-patch, Snowball, and Split Rail. My favorite block is the “Prairie Pinwheel” which creates a quilt (56.5” x 64.5”) with so much visual movement it seems blown around by a mid-west wind. Its companion piece is a mini version at 32.5” x 32.5”. Another favorite is “Kaleidoscope” (57.5” x 70.5”) which I would have adored but ignored because of (cue suspenseful music) … inset seams.But effort, basic sewing skills, and old-fashioned piecing are not entirely eliminated. You still will need to join many, many blocks and rows together with (gasp) actual seams. Templates are required for some projects, meaning lots of hand/shears cutting and proper alignment regarding bias versus straight of grain. No small feat for the aforementioned “Kaleidoscope” quilt which require 110 such cuts. This, plus the general nature of the layered approach, can incur some fabric waste.So, despite some minor fabric waste, the occasional template, layouts with lots of repeated blocks, not entirely eliminating folded corners and half-square triangles, and a few frayed edges, I highly recommend Cozy Quilts and Comforts. It will inspire the Civil War era fabric fan and spare many frayed nerves at a sewing machine near you.~ ~ ~Kindle versus Paperback:~ ~ ~I purchased both, and I use the Kindle for Samsung app. (Your app could be different.) The paperback is much richer in presentation. The colors are the same, but the paperback includes a beautiful "sidebar photo strip" - I am not an editor/publisher and have no idea what this should be called - for each project. Plus, quilting lines are far more prominent in the paperback. Fans of Moda or other darkish Civil War era fabric lines might prefer the paperback over the Kindle. I do. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Large assortments the clothes to make *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2023* Large assortment of quilts to make ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars great patterns *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2018* Best, most innovative book I have read in a long time. Quilts are different and beautifully illustrated. Already made two of the patterns. However, I cannot figure why the author offers two cutting lists. I.E, she describes cutting five 5.5 strips of darks but then she tells you to cut these same strips into 4.5 squares. Why am I cutting the same fabric twice? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/51284101-kansas-troubles-quilters-cozy-quilts-and-comforts-easy-to-stitch](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/51284101-kansas-troubles-quilters-cozy-quilts-and-comforts-easy-to-stitch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
