Strips & Strings: 16 Sparkling Quilts (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

This book is the best! I can't wait to make at least 3 of the quilts in this book. I like the fact that most of the quilts are in a size that I like to make(large lap size). Great way to use up the scraps or for those who just like the scrappy look. Strips are cut different widths, so you don't have to have any particular size of strip. Even a tiny piece will work! Seams don't line up, so this is great of beginners.
You will not be sorry, if you invest in this book!

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

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.
