Color Design in Patchwork: With Plastic Templates for 10 Pairs of Blocks (Dover Needlework Series) [Paperback] Review

Just got this book four days ago and can hardly wait to start making puzzle quilts. This book really turned my mind around and pointed my brain in a whole new direction. The patterns are totally simple and clear. The concept is startling. EX: Block #1A is solid triangles. Block#1B is also solid triangles but totally different in appearance due to the use of Light, Medium, and Dark colors. Nothing complicated except the results. This book has changed the way I think.

Mandala Quilt Designs (Dover Needlework Series) [Paperback] Review

If you want a bit of magic in your quilting knowledge to date,this is a "best to be owned" type of book.Ms.Pasquini introduced certaintechiniques in quiltmaking in this book that I thought the quilt police would come and lock up me upfor having too much fun and relaxation while tryingmore challenging techniques...
I am a fan of this lady's books,she introduces certain new concepts in cutting out fabrics,and how to utilze angles into circular motifs.The other nifty thing is that the circle quilts can easily have corners added to them, or project outwards for a non traditional wallhanging.With some of the newer "pellan" products available online,an odd shaped quilt can be hung,and still keep it's shape.It is my favorite of two books of Ms. Pasquini's that I own.
