Fantastic Fabric Folding: Innovative Quilting Projects [Paperback] Review

Compared to many quilting books, this one is easy to use and offers fresh ideas.It provides detailed step-by-step instructions with photographs.There are photos on almost every page--this makes the book more stimulatingthan many quilting books that rely on black and white diagrams anddrawings.In addition to the table of contents, the book offers a usefulindex and bibliography. With this book, even people who have never doneorigami (or used folding techniques) can add this method to their quilting.However, this may not be the book for those who want to make quilts thatlook traditionally Japanese.The book's kimono designs are very Japaneselooking, but the quilting arrangements are not typically Japanese. Forthose interested in making authentically Japanese looking quilts, I wouldrecommend "Honoring the Seasons" (1996) by Takako Onoyama. Still,"Fantastic Fabric Folding" is a great book for those who wouldlike to add some Japanese flavor and new designs to their quilts.

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.

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.

Christmas Quilts From Hopscotch: Warm and Cozy, Merry and Bright [Paperback] Review

I will be telling my age with this review but if you remember "flip-books", then you will know how this book is printed.For those of you who are not old enough, a flip-book is one where you "flip" the book in order to read all of it.Half of the book is printed reading one direction and the other half you need to "flip" the book over to read the rest.

One half of this book is MERRY AND BRIGHT and the other is WARM AND COZY.Each has the same patterns but each side is done in different color schemes.Like the title says, one is done in bright colors and the other is done in earthy tones.

Beginning with the WARM AND COZY side, you find the information on appliquéing the pieces for each project.A discussion between using wool or cotton is given farther back in the book.The patterns are of Christmas stockings, Cloth balls, a tree skirt, two wall hangings, an Advent calendar and a lap quilt.Each side has complete instructions for doing the projects --- one in bright colors and one in earthy tones.

Color photos of the project are shown at the start of each set of instructions.Finished size and skill levels are given next with a materials list following that.Cutting and piecing instructions are next with very good graphics to help you follow along.The wording of the instructions is well written so you don't have any trouble figuring out what the next step is.Assembling and binding are the final steps in the list of directions.

If you have never understood what the choice of fabric can do to make the same project look different, this is a book that will help you grasp that concept.Besides, how many times have you made a project for one friend and wished to make the same for another friend whose home decorations are the exact opposite of what you just made but weren't sure what color choices would be best?I know I have and this book shows you both sides of the color spectrum.It is a great "twofer" for one price.

Better Together: Two-Block Designs for Dynamic Quilts (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

As one would expect from Martingale, Better Together is a wonderfully produced and well-written book that will inspire both beginning and advanced quilters.In the first few pages, the award-winning author provides insight on fabric selection and preparation and quiltmaking basics, including many of her useful "insider" tips for piecing and quilting that will also be useful to advanced quilters.The cover photo is an appropriate representation of the book's contents - the quilts are striking and beautifully photographed in full-page format.

Through the 10 main chapters of the book, the author shows how to make dynamic, visually-intricate quilts by combining only two separate block designs in each quilt.The author's choice of colors and value take advantage of the alternate patterns that emerge as the different blocks are joined.Included are examples of how different color choices can dramatically alter the look of a quilt, as well as patterns that would be suitable for large-patterned themed fabrics.

The blocks are all rotary cut and constructed with squares, rectangles, and half or quarter square triangles.Instructions for each quilt, including fabric requirements, cutting measurements and construction steps, are complete and clearly and concisely written.Full-color illustrations matching the photographed quilt accompany each step, and quilting suggestions are also provided.

The author's personable writing style makes you feel as though you had a good friend sitting with you as you are sewing.This is a lovely book from beginning to end.The author's knowledge, passion for quilting and warm writing style are an inspiration - Quilters and this book are truly "Better Together."We hope to see another book from this author soon!
