Quick Colorful Quilts for Babies And Toddlers [Paperback] Review

Quick Colorful Quilts for Babies And Toddlers [Paperback]This book offers inspiration and instructions for colorful quilts for babies and toddlers. I'm in the process of making the cover quilt. I had a problem at first with the frame pieces. The book shows templates for these pieces but they have to be enlarged. You can imagine the mistake I made. I would recommend the author and editor test the instructions on less experienced quilters.

Baby Quilts: 15 Original Designs for Every Nursery Decor [Bargain Price] [Paperback] Review

Baby Quilts: 15 Original Designs for Every Nursery Decor [Paperback]I have used this book for two quilts. Both of which turned out to be very cute. Hopefully I'll use it for many more. The directions are clear and simple, the pictures are bright, and the layout is perfect. There are quite a few applique patterns for those who like that type of work. I don't, so a lot is wasted on me. However it's still worth purchasing if you're looking for some really cool baby's or kid's quilts. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
