Whole Concept Quilt Book

I bought the book as the friend who loaned me her copy moved to Indiana and I had to return it to her. I really like the patterns, and several are very charming. That said, this is not my color palette - but all I have to do is substitute. Instructions are more for intermediate to advanced quilters, though a motivated "beginner" could pull it off. Quilt designs are solid and the book is beautifully illustrated.

Country But Not Too Cute

I love to buy quilt books, perhaps it's an addiction. This is one of the few books I will read over, again and again. There is a real warmth to her colors and her quilts, without being too cute (like Debbie Mum). I could even make one of these quilts for my 18 year old son without complaints. Even if you don't quilt, I think you would enjoy seeing how she incorporates her quilts into her decor. If you do quilt, even better! Your only dilemma will be in trying to decide which quilt to make first.

The Country Look at Last

Thimbleberries quilts and fabric are just what I have been looking for to help me decorate my home, dark, warm , country colors. It has been hard for me to find someone else who loves this country look as I do. The directions are well laid out and the quilts go together in no time, it seems. Try any of Lynette's books, they are all 5 stars. Can't wait for the next!

An excellent book for not only quilts but decorating too

The quilts in this book are fun to make and display around the house. Lynette's choice of colors are warm and inviting. I enjoyed seeing how she used quilts in her decorating scheme. This book is more than just instructional it is fun to read and browse through again and again

Easy, beautiful quilt designs!

Lynette Jensen has done it again! She has provided us with inspiration, not perspiration. Her designs are lovely to look at but won't take months to achieve. Many are easy enough for beginners. Another winner!

An excellent book for both novice and more advanced quilters

Excellent instructions along with beautiful sample pictures add up to a well-rounded book for all quilters. Lots of projects from the simple to more advanced, small to large. Good info on use of color, pattern, etc. A great reference area on basic quilt construction from cutting (rotary) to binding. I have made several projects already and am very pleased with the book. Lynette also includes a section on decorating your home with your quilts.
