Big Block Quilts: Using Layer Cakes, Sweet 16s, etc! [Paperback] Review

This book has hundreds of design possibilities, all shown in grayscale diagrams.There are photographs of some of them made up, but for most of them you'll have to do your own color choices and placement.These blocks could be made up into bed-sized quilts, starting with large squares as building blocks, or into blocks to go into a quilt, or as a single smaller block as a wallhanging or other small quilt project.This is not for someone who needs handholding and precise step-by-step directions.But if you're confident in your own taste and able to make decisions for yourself as you go along, and can look at a block diagram and see how it should be sewn together, this offers you lots of options.All the blocks are made from simple units -- squares, four patches, "rail fence" units (two rectangles), and half-square triangles.The author gives you lots of possible ways to combine those units into quilt blocks of any size you choose, determined only by the size of square you start with.This is a book I'll return to again and again.

Product Description:

The latest trend in fabric is precut squares or rectangles. Layer Cakes from Moda are 10 inch squares. Sweet 16s from Maywood Studios are 9 inch x 11 inch rectangles. Marcus Brothers cuts their Spoonfuls into 8-1/2 inch squares. This book contains ideas for all these large squares. Or you can cut you own large squares. One Fat Quarter can be cut into four 8-1/2 inch squares. Making the designs even more flexible, these patterns will work for ANY SIZE SQUARE! The popular 5 inch charm packs will make a fun baby quilt size or table topper. Or maybe you have cut leftover fabrics from past projects into 4 inch or 6 inch squares (or any other uniform size). These patterns will work perfectly for those squares as well! You could even start with a 16 inch or 17 inch square and use one of these patterns to make a king size quilt. It just takes 36 squares of any size to make any or all of these quilts. This book contains instructions to make 238 quilts! All of the instructions are written for beginners. This book offers beginning quilters several benefits. The quilts are all made up of basic blocks. The fabric in the precut, prepackaged fabric bundles all match. The book describes several methods for organizing scrap quilts. Beginning quilters are introduced to the creative process of quilting. However, these quilts are not just for beginners. Experienced quilters can enjoy making a quick project as a gift or to experiment with new colors. This book takes quilters through four steps of basic quiltmaking. Step 1: Choose Your Pattern. Step 2: Organize Your Fabrics. Step 3: Sew Your Blocks Together. Step 4: Layout and Sew Your Quilt. Going through these steps involves quilters with the entire process of quilt making in a fun, simple way.Big Block Quilts contains patterns for 238 quilts with full color pictures of 21 of these patterns. See how similar patterns look in different colors, and see how the same fabrics look in different patterns. This book contains hundreds of ideas for using charm packs, layer cakes, sweet 16s, spoonfuls, fat quarters, and your personal stash!

More Nickel Quilts: 20 New Designs from 5-Inch Squares [Paperback] Review

This is a wonderful book, every bit as great as the first! The techniques are easy to follow, but are also enjoyable for more advanced quilters. It is an excellent way to use up scraps and More Nickel Quilts has more of a variety of color themes- brights, 30's, and more. It also has the math for each quilt in several sizes, so you can make a wall quilt or a queen size, which is nice. All the quilts are beautiful, it was hard to choose which one to start with!

A Baker's Dozen: 13 Quilts from Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes, and More (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Another well-written book from That Patchwork Place!I admit to succumbing to the temptation to purchase a couple of those Jelly rolls -- but haven't quite figured out what I wanted to do with them.Until Now!!! I now have a whole selection of wonderful patterns! I love that the authors have also included a "stash option" that provides cutting requirements from yardage -- that was a really thoughtful feature that allows the patterns to be used in ways other than if you have those pretty little "rolls" or "cakes". The directions are well written with well-thought out graphics to support the text. The book is cohesive and clear -- which is important when there are so many quilt designers represented!!!I also like the fact that there's a small bio and photos of each of the designers!!It's fun to pick out a favorite pattern (Scrappy Hunter's Star in my case) and then go look up the bio and see what Regina Girard really looks like!It makes it so much more personal.Thank you for a fabulous new book!!
