It's Raining Cats & Dogs: Paper-Pieced Quilts for Pet Lovers [Paperback] Review

It's Raining Cats & Dogs: Paper-Pieced Quilts for Pet Lovers [Paperback]This book has detailed colored pictures of all projects, and patterns that INCLUDE the seam allowance (my 2 most important factors in buying a paper piecing book).
Each project lists all the pertinent information you might require (i.e. quilt size, block size, fabric requirements, fabric cutting sizes).There are lots of tips and how-to's throughout the book, and "personalization" ideas are included for a number of the projects. The projects themselves are absolutely adorable.
Only one project in the book looked like it might be on the difficult side (Hanging BasKats) - the rest looked like they would be doable by most people with a little bit of sewing experience.

The color project pictures are all at the front, separate from the pattern/instruction pages, so it's sometimes necessary to go to the front of the book when working.Each project does clearly state where the colored photo is, but it would have been nice to have the color project photo WITH the project.
I certainly look forward to buying more books from this author and fellow cat lover :).
