Baby Wraps: Quick, Cuddly Quilts (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Baby Wraps: Quick, Cuddly Quilts [Paperback]Our guild, One Stitch at a Time, is always looking for quick, cuddly baby quilts as we make them for Love and Hugs (seriously ill children 0 - 18 years of age).BABY WRAPS is just such book.

There are eight quilts patterns, each quick and easy to make.The smallest is 34 x 37 inches (approximately) and the largest 43 x 52 inches.The most difficult thing about making these quilts is the appliqué.Otherwise, they are made with square, strips and triangle blocks.If you are not a quilter that likes/does appliqué, then look for fabric that already has the pattern on it.

Each project has a full color photo of the finished quilt plus its finished size and finished block size.A sentence or two is written about the quilt and then a paragraph is provided about how to choose the fabric.A materials and cutting list are found next and then the directions for making the blocks.All is written in a clear, easy to understand fashion.Assembling the quilt top, adding borders and finishing the quilt directions are also provided.All appliqué templates are included at full size so there is no need to run out to the copier shop before beginning your quilt.

The final page provides a bit of information about the author which I always love to read and find out how the got to be a published author/quilt maker.If you are looking for a quilt for your next child/grandchild, BABY WRAPS is a great book to have.
