Show Me How to Paper Piece [Paperback] Review

I purchased Carol's book because I chose a very difficult fan design to use in a challenge quilt and needed to paper piece for accuracy.I had never tried to paper piece before because all the on-line instructions I found were contradictory and confusing.For me, this book was the best resource for learning to paper piece because the techniques are clearly shown in photos and instructions and the pre-printed papers for piecing are included.I normally learn best from a class where I can see techniques demonstrated, but this book is just like taking a class and my challenge quilt turned out perfect!

Fresh And Fabulous Quilts [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

If you like adding a dash of happy and bright to your quilts, you'll love this book! Every time I look through the pages, I feel inspired to start a new quilt. There's a joy that comes from these quilts that's like the start of spring--so colorful, so cheerful. So refreshing!

There are eight quilt patterns to choose from. In several of the projects, traditional blocks are paired with unique appliqued elements. You've seen appliqued hearts, leaves, and flowers before, of course. But not like these! Cheryl's take on these classic quilting elements is hip, stylish, and fun. With quilt names like "Fruit Basket," "Every Blooming Thing," and "Flower Power," you can imagine that the color palettes are vivid and exciting. The projects make great use of today's bold fabrics (which I admit to sometimes buying without knowing how to use).

Cheryl Brown has a "fresh and fabulous" designing future ahead of her. I'm already looking forward to what's next.

Sweet and Simple Baby Quilts [Paperback] Review

Ms Hickey has some really interesting ideas of how to showcase novelty fabrics in a baby, or even wall, quilt that are striking
and very pretty. Her directions are good & there are an arrangement of difficult to very easy quilts listed.
The only flaw to the book would be a good source of where or what these novelties are called and could be found.But I guess you could use it just as a starting place and not as an exact duplicate.Really recommended.

Mimi Dietrich's Favorite Applique Quilts (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

The usual for quilt books would be one or two of the patterns are winners; not so with this book.The market for this book will be traditional quilters as the patterns are not artsy. All the patterns are creative, beautiful, warm and very doable.It's a shame the publisher does not include pictures.You will find all the patterns will fall on your "to do" list of quilts to make.The applique is not undully complicated or difficult and the quilts can be completed in a reasonable amount of time.
