Little Book of Little Quilts

Summary: Okay but not the best.
Review: I bought this at a used book store. I only like about 3 of the quilts in the entire book. One of which being the cover quilt. The cover quilt is an adorable look that can be improvised for your own personal color scheme. My gripe aabout the book is that you have to adjust some of the pattern pieces (not full size) or trace them and all of the quilts are too tiny to be functional -- but they are very time consuming. If you can get it cheap it's worth it -- otherwise forget it. Erin

Summary: Lots of Lovely Little Quilts!
Review: Simply a delightful little book ideal for coffee-table or sewing room. It's bulging with all kinds of quilts-from traditional to modern for quilters of all levels of skills and tastes. There are many shortcuts and innovative ideas and methods, well-explained and illustrated. Almost all diagrams and all photographs are in colour which makes it a pleasure to read or browse through, making it especially excellent for readily and easily achievable projects for quilters frustrated by a hectic schedule. I love just looking through it!

Summary: Little information in this little book
Review: The pictures of the quilts in this book are great, but my problem is with the directions - there are too few of them!

The book assumes a lot on the part of the reader, so if you don't have at least 3 or 4 quilts under your belt, pass on this book. Its directions are confusing and it neglects to tell you how much fabric is needed for each project (something that's handy and useful to know when going to the fabric store).
