Although the presentaion of this soft back book is dated (my copy is 1985), the design principles of the text are as up to date and relevant as any of her newer books. I think it is an insightful book on design that has stood the test of time and would be a useful addition to anyone's libary. I particularly recommend it to newer quilters who balk at the "traditional" sampler quilt format.

A really informative book,well thought out.
16 May 2008
Format:Paperback
I make large quilts based on single block themes,something about which this book talks about.I learned alot of pointers,and I have to say if I wrote a "how to" book,I would aspire to write something clear and uncomplicated as this author manages to descibe her techniques and ideas.
Its a smart purchase,if you want direct, yet a different understanding of how to design your own work.Even measurements for fabrics are simple to understand,and very easilly understood for someone who wants to try designing their own work.The Author gives many examples of how certain 4,5,9 patch designs can be elaborated into a lage bed spread.Very nice diagrams too!On the whole,I would say to another quilter,if you have made 4 or 5 quilts,and are looking for a next step up in your techniques,this book might be enough to keep you happy in your work for another couple of years.I wish I wrote it.

I have never wanted to do a traditional 3 block by 4 block sampler, but I have often thought that I want to make a single block to test/try a new idea, but I didn't because I didn't know what to do with those blocks after piecing them. This layout idea & blocks to try are going to be very helpful to me, I can finallly do trial blocks.
Extremely versatile

I have made over a dozen quilts following the layouts provided in this book and each quilt has it's own completely different look depending on color choices and block choices. It's a wonderful choice for anyone feeling gun shy about going from "following directions" to "design your own work".
It's a favorite and actually I need to buy another copy. I've managed to destroy my original copy from to much use.
