Amazingly easy

If you're looking to wow your friends and family with "difficult" quilts, this is the book to have. Easy directions, unbelievable patterns and first in show results. You don't have to be an expert quilter to benefit from this book.

Great book

Karla has sure become my favorite quilt book writer. The book is full of fun and easy to make projects. I have now used the techniques learned to cut my "on decks" and I am no longer afraid of sewing curves. Thank you for all the inspiration contained on your books.

Stack a New Deck

Lots of projects I want to make. Well writen and easy to follow with lots of pictures. A real good buy, one that will get lots of use.

nice book

I just received my copies of this book and the first, Stack the Deck. I like the looks of the ones in this book better. I'm wanting to make at least 3 of the quilts in this book. The only 'problem' I see with the books (so far) is that she shows a small photo of different cutting diagrams with the cutting and piecing orders, but you have to either 'free style' it or draw your own or enlarge these to size (which may take several copies since some are oly about an inch square and the fabric square starts out at 9 3/4 inches!) anyways, I haven't tackled this yet and I'm not sure if I'll just draw my own or what. there are also a few with curves in this book and circles..as well as several 'square inside a square' looking ones as well as a few others. Other than not having the full-size 'templates' I'm very happy with this book (but Iguess the idea is to get away from using templates and be creative!) I originally thought I'd give this a 4 star rating but for the type of book it is I think it fits the bill. It reminds me also of some patterns I have by two kwik kwilters, except with theirs they give you the fullsize pattern and you trace it on freezer paper for each set of blocks..but there are more ideas in this book than these patterns currently offer.

Wonderful and fast and Easy!!!!!

These quilts are very easy to put together. The instructions are easy to follow and you can still put in your own creativity and have an outstanding quilt that is yours. Fast and beautiful.
