A Joy Forever: Marie Webster's Quilt Patterns [Paperback] Review

I cannot wait to start making a quilt using the designs in this book!If you've seen a quilt with roses, irises, daisies...before and weren't impressed, try this book for designs that are fresh and clean.According to this book, a lot of the designs of the 1920's-1950's were based off of these.I have not seen these patterns used in this way ever before.In this book you will find patterns for many flowers including: iris (pictured on the cover), daisy, may tulips, poppy, white dogwood (fabulous!), french baskets, and a very beautiful grapes and vines pattern.
If you've never appliqued before, this book will be a challenge to you.The instructions are written for a quilter with some experience.The beginning of the book gives wonderful details of the life of Marie Webster who is the original creator of these designs.
I also enjoyed Marie Webster's Gardent of Quilts which, I think would be a bit easier for a beginner eager to try traditional designs.
