Traditional Patchwork Quilt Patterns With Plastic Templates: Instructions for 27 Easy-To-Make Designs (Dover Needlework)

Summary: Traditional Patterns
Review: The patterns (as the title of the book indicates) are the traditional ones(Ohio Star, Eight Point Star, Clay's Choice) that more experienced quilters will already be famliar with, but it does have those nifty plastic templates (four of them--you'd be surprised how much you can do with so little)which in my opinion are worth the money all by themselves. If you're a real beginner and the patterns are new to you, I would recommend you combine this with Laura Erlich's Complete Idiot's Guide, which I just LOVE. She gives really clear simple instructions on how to piece together the same designs in this book, which this is a little weak on, if you don't already know what you're doing.

Summary: Traditional Patterns
Review: The pictures and descriptions are easy to follow. The templates are heavy plastic to stand up to the many hours of cutting I will put them through! The patterns included in this book will keep quilters of all levels busy. Make one block or an entire quilt - the directions for both are included.
