Summary: 128 Pages of Eye Strain
Review: I purchased this book, sight unseen, because I am a collector of quilt block books. I love reviewing the books and planning my next project, this book, claiming to have '336' quilt blocks seemed to be ideal. Well, I was wrong. Dead Wrong.The layout of this book is TERRIBLE. It features six eye-poppingly colorful blocks per page which most of which are not pieced, but are merely DRAWN. There are illustrations which claim to be patterns but there are no actual measurements included. Sure, this looks good....But...The reader is left wondering how to put it all together. I think it is disingenuous NOT to show completed pieced blocks in a quilt block book or measurements. I probably will try to put a couple of the "Tree" blocks together, but I think it will be challenging. Recommended: No. A good 'idea' book, but not for careful piecers, and certainly NOT easy to complete in 10 minutes!

Summary: It has great pictures and ideas but.
Review: This book gives you great ideas. But quilters are a busy bunch of people. It would have been a much better book if the author would have included some patterns. Majority of the ladies in my quilting club look for a pattern and have a terrible time making their own patterns. If I would have known it didn't contain patterns I wouldn't have purchased it. But I did so thru a book club. I design and make personable quilts and have been in the business for quite some time.
