A Dozen Roses: Beautiful Quilts and Pillows (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

A Dozen Roses: Beautiful Quilts and Pillows [Paperback]This book is so lovely and it contains a wide variety of quilting and sewing projects for people of all ability levels.The photography is beautiful and the instructions for each project are very detailed and precise.

One great thing about this book is that there is a wide range of projects for everyone.Some of the projects are traditional (such as the Bed of Roses Baby Quilt) and others are more modern and funky (such as the Roses and Ribbons Strips Pillow).There are projects that could take several months to finish and others that could be completed in a matter of an hour or two.

The authors also explain the inspiration behind their projects and give interesting background information.For example, the Rose of Havana Quilt was inspired by Azulejo tiles from the Moorish period in Spanish history.There are also many interesting legends relating to roses scattered throughout the book.

I love this book and enjoy flipping through it to look at the gorgeous projects.I think my first project will be the Rose Petal pillow to add a romantic touch to my bed.
