I am hoping one of my first pattern quilts will be one of these
I am a fairly new quilter and these patterns look well thought out and fairly easy. I got another quilting book for beginners and could not figure out how to do everything. These suggestions I can picture in my mind.

Great book but damaged by Amazon
The book itself was fine - no complaints. What wasn't fine was that I spent $18 for a book that was ridiculously packaged which resulted in it being bent before I received it. I returned it. Hopefully my new copy will not be damaged when received. This supplier should contact Amazon about packaging bendable items in something sturdier so as not to be wasteful.

Good resource but...
My wife likes this book as a starting guide for beginner quilters and it has given her some really good ideas. It is well laid out, simple, and easy to follow. That said, there are a few critical mistakes in the book that are obvious if you think them through so it's not a big problem. But the user should absolutely not take every word as if it is perfect. A couple of the measurements just didn't make sense. My wife asked my opinion and I agreed that her reasoning was correct. Again, very nice book and kudos the authors for their work, but it could have used a bit more editing.

Good for Novice Quilters
Good for absolute beginners. Probably not a great choice for quilters with much experience. Cute layout and has several patterns for beginners to make that will build skills and confidence

Lap quilts only
Disappointed with this book. Every pattern is lap size: not a twin or full or queen. It is ok for beginners in quilting, but I am not interested in lap size quilts!

Lots of info and good patterns to try
Really like it, has plenty of good info, nice patterns to try. Looking forward to doing some of them. Really enjoying quilting. Now just get the surgery for shoulder damage. Sigh!

Effektvoll und sehr anschaulich beschrieben
Ein tolles Buch, das zeigt wie effektvoll sich einfache Quiltformen zu wahren Kunstwerken verarbeiten lassen. Die Anleitungen zum Zuschnitt und zur Anordnung der Blöcke sind sehr anschaulich und präzise.

Really liked this book
Really liked this book. The layout is great and the project quick and easy. I make a lot of quilts for project Linus sobideal for that if you use bright child friendly colours. You can also play around with the patterns and take ideas from several and combine or change the cutting instructions to suit a particular idea. Would recommend this book to a beigner or more advanced quilter to play around with some of the patternsor
