"Good!"
Easy understanding and ideal for begginers with a lot of quilting patterns to create your own designs.

"Fantastic book. . ."
As a novice to the quilting world, this book opened my eyes to what quilting can be. The illustrations are beautiful and the directions clear and easy to understand.

"Excellent Reference"
I purchased this book as a birthday present for my neighbor. Since she is my neighbor we share the book. The book is a great reference for quilters. The photos are excellent showing wonderful detail on the quilts. I haven't personally used the book for any projects yet but will definately refer to it when I am starting a project.

"Patterns for entire quilts"
I prefer books on just the quilt blocks instead, but if you like patterns for many full-sized quilt patterns, you'll like this resource.

"Useful book- but watch for shrinkage during prewashing."
This is an amazing quilt book, and by far the most used in my collection. The patterns are beautiful and the instructions are clear. I spend a lot of time simply looking at all of the beautiful full page color photos! I've also learned a lot from the general tips at the beginning of the book. This is a wonderful resource for beginning and intermediate quilters, who don't know how to do things like sew set-in seams and make large amounts of bias binding.

One thing to note about this book- the fabric measurements don't account for shrinkage during prewashing. This has been an issue on some of the quilts that require a lot of fat quarters, where I've found myself an inch or two short for that last row of shapes during cutting. When making any pattern from this book, buy an extra quarter yard of large amounts and a few extra fat quarters for scrap quilts.
