All-New Twenty To Make: One Patch Quilts

Midwest Book Review – September 2025

Synopsis: Appropriate for both novice and experienced quilters looking for ready-to-trace templates and contemporary one-patch quilting inspiration, “All-New Twenty To Make: One Patch Quilts” is a simply stunning and instructive DIY instructional guide for twenty quilting projects from Carolyn Forster and contains 20 different patchwork shapes, ranging from triangles and diamonds, to tumblers, clamshells and applecores, each of which are made up into a stunning one-patch design.

A complete quilting primer makes “All-New Twenty To Make: One Patch Quilts” easily and methodically accessible for beginners, with advice on scaling the templates up and down, and both hand and machine sewing.

Of special note is the inclusion of a complete one-patch quilt project, with full making-up instructions and sumptuous photography, created using a selection of the one-patch blocks.

Critique: Thoroughly ‘user friendly’ in organization and presentation, this new edition of “All-New Twenty To Make: One Patch Quilts” from Search Press is an expanded hardback edition of their “20 to Stitch: One-Patch Quilts” (2017) and is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library Needlecraft/Quilting collections.
