This third book in the series completes the set for those who fell in love with these amazing quilts and want to complete a project with the accent cubes.After completing a regular One-Block Wonder based on the instructions in Book One and Two, I was glad to have this expanded book for my second One Block Wonder quilt with many ideas for my next project with cube and geometric accents.

I encourage anyone planning on making one of these quilts to be sure to read the complete instructions in Book One for picking fabric and getting started.With the right fabric, these quilts are so much fun with glorious results.

Make Your Own Contemporary Quilts (Hachette General Reference) [Paperback] Review

This book is absolutely amazing I was looking for something like this for years. It has enough information if you are a beginner, as well as very advanced techniques which could be used anywhere not just in making quilts. It gives you so much more ideas for contemporary quilts if you don't want your house looking country style all over.
I never rated any book before, but this book really shocked me, in a good way, I wanted to email the editor (Karen Hemingway) to thank her, but I couldn't find her email anywhere. Well I guess this is the next best thing.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Denyse Schmidt Quilts: 30 Colorful Quilt and Patchwork Projects [Paperback] Review

I am a long-time quilter who loves modern patterns and innovative design; I was so excited to see this book.When it arrived I knew after flipping through it once that I would be returning it--and I never return quilt books. Be aware that hardly any of the patterns are for quilts--most are for household objects. And what's frustrating about those patterns for things like slippers is that they don't seem as though they would produce results that are going to hold up well.Oh well.I'd recommend that non-beginners skip this and get two great Kerr/Ringle books: Color Harmony for Quilters and The Modern Quilt Workshop instead.
