Format:Paperback
At this price, everyone with an interest in quilts should own a copy of this delightful book. It is a dictionary of traditional blocks with template patterns, suggestions for layouts, borders, and colour schemes together with yardages required and appropriate quilting patterns. What makes it special is the way the author has interspersed the wealth of technical detail with fascinating anecdotes about the history of the various blocks and the way in which they developed.This is in no way a coffee table book but it is a book that ca be read in itself for entertainment and yet it provides a basic introduction to the art for beginners. The danger is that there are so many inspiring blocks to look at that it is possible to spend hours dreaming of what could be done in that next quilt and then finding another block that could be even better!

Format:Paperback
This Dover reprint of the classic quilting book by Ruby McKim is one of the best quilting books ever written. The book describes 101 block patterns in both patchwork and applique as well as two embroidered blocks. Scattered among the patterns are eight short, well-written chapters describing how to piece, quilt and applique. Originally written in the late 1920's and early 1930's the instructions are as good as ever and Ms. McKim's writing clear and pleasant. This is an absolute steal at this price. Another gem from Dover.

i lost this book after many moves and lendings and am so happy to have it back at last. It should be on every quilter and patchworkers' shelf. Excellent for inspiration and very useful templates.

Dated but interesting!
I was initially surprised at the old fashioned feel of the book. The presentation is rather dated and some of the illustrations almost amusing! Read more
