Customer Reviews

So many quilts, so little time!

This is a book that I have looked at so many times that I can't even count! Every page is filled with gorgeous photographs of rooms filled with quilts. The wonderful thing is that they are almost all traditional designs, and the photos show the quilts so well that you could easily reproduce them if you desired. No patterns come with the book, which means that every page is filled with fantastic treasures. The book may be out of print now, but I highly recommend finding a used version and don't lend it out to anyone!

MUST-HAVE BOOK FOR THE QUILTER

This book is great for everyone from those who have never tried quilting to experienced quilters. In addition to the very-easy-to-follow directions for eleven easy (and beautiful) quilts pictured in the book, there is a very nice index with the pattern sources for most of the pictured quilts. There are photographs of quilts used in a variety of settings, themes, and decors with many easy-to-duplicate design ideas. This inspiring book is great for your library or for a quilter or designer--either aspiring or professional. If you have quilts at home that you would love to display but don't have any ideas on the best way, try this book. This is a great coffee-table book as well as a reference book. In addition to the quilts, the photography is superb.

Quilts decorations in contemporary settings ...

This is a wonderful book to see quilts decorations room by room ... to see how quilts blends in with home decors. For those who don't like quilts in general, this book would change their minds. Most quilts shown are not loud, but beautifully color-coordinated, very contemporary. It is nice to see traditional quilts can fit into modern interior decorations with carefully planned color scheme.

A beautiful book that will inspire any quilter.

This book is beautiful and well organized. Make Room for Quilts will inspire any quilter whether they are making quilts or decorating. The book contains an extensive index of where to find quilt patterns shown and has diagrams for some of the quilts in the index. This is a book you will review many times.

Inspiration for quiltmakers

This is a beautiful book and will give many hours of pleasure. It contains colour photographs of many beautiful quilts, where to find the patterns for them, ways to display quilts by using them as decorating items in a home; the instructions/patterns for making seven of hundreds of featured quilts and general instructions on making/storing quilts. It is an ideal "coffee table" book because it is a pleasure to pick up and browse through.
