A Year of Paper Piecing: 12 Sensational Seasonal Designs (Block a Month) [Paperback] Review

Calendar quilt patterns are usually very similar.BUT NOT THE CALENDAR QUILT PATTERNS in this book!!Bev inserts JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE in each of her monthly patterns (eg: instead of just a heart for Feb., she places a bouquet of roses tied with ribbon behind the heart; a delightful teapot and steaming cup for March has additional little cakes with clever embroidery added to the frosting; a lovely June wreath of roses with a bow adorn that block).And to top it off, when you are finished with each of these blocks, they add together to make a QUEEN sized quilt!!Or, if you don't want a big quilt, Bev gives directions to make a great interchangeable wall hanging.Great work, Bev.A GREAT buy for QUILT STORES -- Bev has a disclaimer that allows stores to use her blocks for BOM quilts.Check into that store owners.
