Better Together: Two-Block Designs for Dynamic Quilts (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

As one would expect from Martingale, Better Together is a wonderfully produced and well-written book that will inspire both beginning and advanced quilters.In the first few pages, the award-winning author provides insight on fabric selection and preparation and quiltmaking basics, including many of her useful "insider" tips for piecing and quilting that will also be useful to advanced quilters.The cover photo is an appropriate representation of the book's contents - the quilts are striking and beautifully photographed in full-page format.

Through the 10 main chapters of the book, the author shows how to make dynamic, visually-intricate quilts by combining only two separate block designs in each quilt.The author's choice of colors and value take advantage of the alternate patterns that emerge as the different blocks are joined.Included are examples of how different color choices can dramatically alter the look of a quilt, as well as patterns that would be suitable for large-patterned themed fabrics.

The blocks are all rotary cut and constructed with squares, rectangles, and half or quarter square triangles.Instructions for each quilt, including fabric requirements, cutting measurements and construction steps, are complete and clearly and concisely written.Full-color illustrations matching the photographed quilt accompany each step, and quilting suggestions are also provided.

The author's personable writing style makes you feel as though you had a good friend sitting with you as you are sewing.This is a lovely book from beginning to end.The author's knowledge, passion for quilting and warm writing style are an inspiration - Quilters and this book are truly "Better Together."We hope to see another book from this author soon!
