Grandma's Best Full-Size Quilt Blocks [Spiral-bound] Review

Grandma's Best Full-Size Quilt Blocks [Spiral-bound]Better Homes and Garden books have sure improved since I became disenchanted with them in the 80's.And this is an excellent book no matter if you are a beginner or more accomplished at quilting.It is in an easy to use large spiral book form which makes laying it open as you work on one of the quilts or refer to a procedure for making quilting easier much easier.
It is laid out in a decades genre, where 1830-1860, 0n into 1920-1950 and borders are discussed in excellent detail with clear photos and exact size templates you can copy and use. Since I am fond of the Sunbonnet Sue (page 168) quilt my Grandma Katie made for my bed and dolls cradle I wanted to learn how to make one myself.
I make quilts but they are self designed appliqué types and I wanted to discover the old quilt arts. Although the crazy quilts shown (page 104) come close to what I do.
I personally don't know anyone who wouldn't find this excellent book helpful and being well used.Everytime I start to put the book away I realize that I need it out since I am always doing some type of quilt work....
