Summary: 2nd quilt book I ever bought.
Review: The first was Ruby McKim's.
I made a lot of single blocks out of this book, I think friends still have denim--lots of variations on indigo--pillows made at the time.

I learned how to analyze a block, draft the pattern.
This book won't help you with the nuts and bolts of sewing.

It won't help you visualize a whole quilt. But I expect that this book still holds up as a block book. Everyone needs at least one. After I worked with it for a while I forever lost my shyness about drafting patterns in almost any size, three inches to 25.

Summary: A must for all quilters!
Review: This is a book for the beginner as well as the advanced quilter. It's a wonderful reference book on quilt blocks. Use it as a springboard for designing a contemporary quilt or for creating your own heirloom.
