I have always loved all of Pam and Nicky's jelly roll books - have bought them avidly and made a number of quilts based on them. The combination of brilliant designs, exceptionally clear instructions, and beautiful images has been a winner. Sadly, though, I was a little disappointed by this, their most recent book. One of the things I have always loved in previous books, was the chance to see the same design made up in different fabrics: this inspires me to see how I can make the design my own.
In this book, the designs are still brilliant and inspiring, and the instructions look just as good as ever (no, I haven't tried one yet, although I'm certainly going to!). However, I felt that visually this was not so well presented as the other books have been. Too many of the quilts were only shown draped or folded, rather than clearly visible to give one a good idea of the whole. The final five quilts - some of the most interesting in design terms - are ONLY shown in one colour way, not made up in a second one. There are also a large number of photos - indeed the whole of the inside front cover - which just consist of a close up of a small area of patchwork with quilting details. This actually tells us very little: we know their quilts are beautifully long arm quilted at The Quilt Room - we don't need to be shown it. What we want to see is the overall effect of an entire quilt.
I suspect that this was probably a publisher's / editorial decision, and it was a wrong one. Their designs are fantastic: let us see them clearly in their next quilt book (which will hopefully not be too long away!!).

Another great book by Pam & Nicky Lintott, once more using jelly rolls. As they remind you in the book the beauty of using a jelly roll is you know that the fabrics will be colour co-ordinated. Each of these sampler quilts can be made up with just 1 jelly roll (extra fabric required for sashings and borders).
There are 10 different quilts in the book, shown in 2 different colour ways. Plus there are instructions for 55 different block designs. As always the instructions are well written and they are supported by clear diagrams for piecing and cutting.
There is an important techniques guide at the front of the book and a general techniques section at the rear. I think this book would be great for a beginner as you could learn how to make up several different blocks, and a whole sampler quilt with just 1 jelly roll.

Whilst I think the Lintott's go from strength to strength, I want more than just 10 designs. Ok I know there are 55 quilt blocks, which is a huge plus. As usual excellent, easy to follow clear instructions but we could have seen the designs as a whole and different colourways. I am not fond of all the designs in this book but this is a good mix and match of quilt blocks. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.
