Rating:  Summary: Which birdhouse or bird feeder will you do first??!!! lol Review: Just try choosing which project to do FIRST - they're all so pretty!! If I'm counting correctly, there are 10 birdhouse designs, 7 bird feeders, and 5 filler blocks. All blocks are shown with FULL color photographs, and the birdhouse/feeder blocks are shown as completed projects, with borders/sashing/binding, so you get great finishing ideas, and great color suggestions. The patterns each include a color photograph, a chart with the fabric key, sewing order, and suggestions for block embellishments. The pattern itself is full size, but does not include the seam allowances, nor are the multi-piece patterns already separated for you. The author has used dashed lines to delineate the different pieces in the multi-piece patterns (in comparison to other books just showing BOLD lines, which are hard to differentiate from the other pattern lines - at least - for ME). The individual sections of each pattern are clearly labelled with the section number and the fabric key. If you have NOT done paper piecing before, there is a large information section at the front with LOTS of instructions and drawings - even people experienced with paper piecing will find these instructions helpful! In addition to the 20+ block designs, you will find 6 "Individual Block Wall Hangings" - with full color pictures, clear and detailed instructions with drawings - even a Christmas design!! My hat is off to Jaynette Huff - what a fabulous book :). (But please, consider putting block sizes and seam allowances on your patterns, lol).
