Geometry made easy, for quilters

This is a book to keep coming back to, although the method is so simple that now that I've played with it for a little while, I won't feel so frustrated by the need to change block sizes. I stumbled on it after trying to figure out how to work with a 12-inch repeat with a kalidoscope design that called for rotary cutting from strips 6.25 inches wide. So near and yet so far. We graphed it several times and got the desired result, but it would have been far simpler with her technique.There were several far more experienced quilters in the class, and their comments during the graphing process make me think that a lot of quilters would benefit from this book. I also appreciated that it will make designing your own patch or adapting something from a picture a simpler process. I'll buy it when I order some more books in a couple of days - I spent a bundle on fabric already this week. I say that I can either have fun while I make money selling houses or have fun while I spend money quilting. Hard choice.

Just a summary of what's in the book

I don't own this book yet, but can give you a bit of description (more than what's provided at any rate)."Joen's book teaches you to draw blocks from all of the basic patch families (4-patch, 5-patch, 7-patch and 9-patch). Learn to blend blocks from the same patch family to form new, exciting designs. Includes more than 150 traditional, historical and original block designs. No math! No graph paper! No fuss! Includes gallery of quilts."I'm sure this book is excellent. Joen Wolfrom is a pro; check out her book "The Visual Dance".
