Pepper Cory Quilting Pattern Collection [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

Pepper Cory first published this book in 1987. The old book featured full size patterns and was 11 x 17" which still doesn't fit in my book shelf.The new book is a much better size to make it easier to resize patterns. It has more patterns plus pages with photos of how to make stencils, mark quilts,choosing the right quilting design for your quilt,and 70 pages of quilting designs. There is a small section of "judging tips" in case you are interested in entering your quilt in a show. Some, but not all of the patterns are continuous line designs for machine quilting.I believe that the others could be adapted if you wanted to use them for machine quilting. There is also a 2 page section of miniature quilting designs.
I think the Pepper Cory Quilting Pattern Collection would be a good edition to your quilting library

Product Description:
Pepper Cory authored two classic books of quilting designs - Quilting Designs from the Amish and Quilting Designs from Antique Quilts. Long out of print and now considered to be collectible vintage quilt books, they easily sell for over $100 apiece on the Internet! The very best patterns from among those in both books were chosen, completely redrawn, and compiled into this new collection of five dozen patterns. Twenty original patterns were resized to fit a standard 8-inch block for easier enlargements, reductions, and scanning. Some of the traditional patterns were updated into continuous-line designs for today's machine quilters. A few new blocks were designed to co-ordinate with the originals. Pepper was one of the first quilt designers to make the leap to plastic. Her impressive collection of quilting patterns is available from StenSource. What makes this book unique is Pepper s photo essay on how to use stencils. The step-by-step photographs show how to make your own plastic stencils from the patterns in the book, and how to mark your quilts with the newest tools and pens available. A handy reference icon identifies patterns already sold as stencils.
