Flower Festival: 50 Appliqu, Blocks to Grow Your Garden 9 Quilt Projects [Paperback] Review

Flower Festival: 50 Appliqu, Blocks to Grow Your Garden  9 Quilt Projects [Paperback]The book is filled with whimsical, contemporary applique blocks. The cover shows mostly the flowers but there's some cute-as-a-button bugs - especially a rather large lady bug block. While the block designs are shown individually in the first half there's a number of projects in the second half. I think these would work for any age - young, old and everything in between.

Blended Borders: Quilts With a Creative Edge (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Blended Borders: Quilts With a Creative Edge [Paperback]I'm sorry, but this book is worthless and indicative of some of the junk that is being published as everyone wants to jump on the billion $ quilt industry band wagon. I consider myself an intermediate quilter and buy numerous quilting books because I love getting inspired by new ideas and techniques. The quilt on the cover is misleading regarding this book. In reality, the quilts are not inspiring, in fact they are quite homely. There is nothing new in the way of techniques.I paid $14 and wish I hadn't paid $1. I wish I had read the couple of comments that dind't rate it a 5!
