I have this book and I would agree that as most of quilt books have quite old-fashioned designs this one actually made me want to make my first quilt for one of the bedrooms as the designs are inspiring, with fresh colours and do look easy to put together.
Other features:
Colours: The colour schemes are very nice.
Instructions: Each quilt has step by step instructions with picture diagrams as well as an introduction if you have never done it before.
Measurements: The final measurements of the completed quilts are given as well the possibilities / explanation how to increase the size.
Blocks: Each block is given details of how to put it together as well as how many separate pieces building one block you need in order to put the whole quilt together.
Definitely an inspiring book, well presented and well written book... I can't wait to see the results of my first quilt .... Thanks you for a good book with loads of clues in it, fabulous help.
