Rating: Summary: Great block ideas--not really for beginners... Review: As a beginning quilter I love seeing all the different blocks with the names. It's a great reference guide. However, I don't like the fact that the blocks are so small and the patterns don't give you cutting instuctions or seam allowances. The color photos of the finished blocks are really nice to have, but the sewing in the photos is not very good quality and it gives the impression that the blocks may be difficult to make.
Rating: Summary: Phenomenal! The best basic quilt book I've ever seen Review: I had no idea that this was a book of 4" blocks when I ordered it. It is exactly what I needed since I am focusing on smaller quilts. Has full size blocks that can be traced for foundation piecing. Some great ideas for projects. I highly recommend it for all quilters but especially for the quilters who like smaller projects. It is truly a "treasury" and belongs in your library.
Rating: Summary: 501 Quilt Blocks Review: I just received this book and while the photos and projects are wonderful, I wasn't expecting the blocks to be 4" squares. However, I don't believe it will be difficult to adjust the size and there is certainly plently of inspiration available. I can't wait to get started on some projects.
Rating: Summary: BH&Gardens 501 quilt blocks Review: The book just arrived. I am new at quilting. There is every applique design you could ever want to use. The other block designs are just beautiful. If I could only have 1 book to use, it would be this book. The directions are clear and very easy to understand. I can't wait to get startedf!!!
Rating: Summary: Great block ideas--not really for beginners... Review: This is a great block pattern book. However as a beginner quilter, I have a hard time using this book to it's full potential because many of the patterns are a difficult and translating these blocks into a quilt requires some experience in figuring out how much fabric you'll need. I am definitely keeping the book and I'm sure I'll use it more when I'm a bit more experienced. I would recommend it to intermediate and advanced quilters.
Rating: Summary: Excellent references Review: This is a great book to have. It has so many samples and they are all colors. It is worth the price compared to those having only a few samples. I would recommend this book to those who wants to keep a reference library for differnt patterns.
Rating: Summary: Only ONE pattern book? This is it! Review: This is my all time favorite pattern book!! If I could only afford one pattern book, I hope that is not so, this would be it! Loaded with 250 pages of patterns for patchwork, appliqué and many are easily adaptable to foundation piecing. Blocks are shown in 4" size but I have enlarged them on a copier with great success. Each of the blocks are shown in clear concise color photos. There are many wonderful themes scattered throughout the book, including: Teatime, Thirties, Flowers, Noah's Ark, and every holiday you can think of. The Preface offers 40 different projects you could make with these blocks, including wearable art.
Rating: Summary: delightful visuals Review: This is the book that I turn to when I need some inspiration to get back to the sewing machine. There are just so many wonderful photographs, so clear and beautiful. The blocks seem to have endless subject matters, yet allow you to put them together to create a uniform looking pattern . This book always lifts my spirits, and makes me think that quilt patterns ar endless in their possibilities.
