Sew One And You're Done: Making a Quilt from a Single Block (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Sew One And You're Done: Making a Quilt from a Single Block [Paperback]Quilters know that friends who don't quilt and even those who do love receiving quilts as presents. I love making quilts for presents, but unfortunately, I don't have time to make complicated block by block quilts. This book takes pretty, traditional mostly star blocks and enlarges them so that one block becomes a lap size quilt. Most are approximately 50" x 50" when finished. The center squares are usually about 12", so for the more ambitious, a pretty block that you have made can become the center. I particularly like the Star Within a Star pattern, which is the traditional carpenter's star block, enlarged. I have made this in traditional Amish colors (black background, light and dark purple for the star) for my son for Christmas and another in contrasting floral color for a friend. WHen finished, it is a very striking single star quilt, suitable for a wall hanging. The directions for all of the quiltsare good and easy to follow. The technique used is rotary cutting and piecing -- no templates, no paper piecing.The book is suitable for quilters of all levels.
