My Favorite Quilting Book!!!

I have been quilting for about a year now, I've purchased several quilting books, and this is the one I keep coming back to. This book has tons of blocks, divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced categories. Each block is shown with variations, and each one has templates for 10", 12", or 14" blocks. The directions are extremely simple, just choose your block, decide on the size, and find your corresponding templates in the back! For many of the templates, I was able to just measure them and use rotary speed cutting instead. The thing I love most about this book is that you don't have any complicated patterns to follow. I just look through the blocks, pick what I want to use, and make my own design! I have made several table runners, as well as a few other projects. I should add that the first 50 pages or so of the book is instructional in nature..., choosing color, sewing the binding, that sort of thing. So if you need that part, it is included! The rest of the book is just block after block, (100 in all, 1200 including the variations) followed by the templates! Every time I start thinking about a new project, this is the first book I pick up! I will probably wear this book out and have to buy a new one!

Speed-cut Quilts

Speed-Cut Quilts, is a great quilt book for the non math person. Donna has taken the guess work out of how much fabric to buy for different sizes of quilts. Also her directions are clear and easy to follow. Donna has made a quilter of me. Isabel

Great Quilting Inspiration

What a wonderful book to inspire new and seasoned quilters. This book takes you step by step in planning a quilt along with yardages of various sizes of the same quilt. The quilt patterns are shown with various ideas for color usage and includes instructions for each variation. The patterns are arranged in order from easy to intermediate and would give you endless combinations for many quilts. The rotary method is fast which helps you to see your creation in less time. A treat to look at again and again!
