American Jane's Quilts For All Seasons: And Some for No Reason (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

American Jane's Quilts For All Seasons: And Some for No Reason [Paperback]I love Sandy Klopp's free-spirited mix of colors, as well as her vintage style.She offers up a mix of beginner, intermediate, and advanced projects to appeal to a range of quilters' abilities.And while I would love to have the quilt that's featured on the cover, I plan to start with some of the easy applique projects:the adorable Scottie quilt and the heart quilt.

In collecting fabrics for my projects, I'm already wishing that her directions for fabric amounts were easier for a beginner to cope with.For example, directions to assemble 3 yards total of assorted fabrics doesn't really tell you what size of cut to get.A quilter with intermediate or advanced skills, of course, can certainly figure it out by measuring the size of the templates.Someone just starting out might not think of it.

Overall, however, the book is appealing from start to finish.Whether you actually make any of the projects or not, it's great eye-candy for armchair enjoyment.
