Book Description

Mar 1999

Quick Kids' Quilts is stuffed full of punchy, bright designs guaranteed to liven up any child's room. The book covers projects for babies, toddlers, and older boys and girls and the different themes capture the imagination and allow for a variety of tastes and functions. Transform or adapt the decorative scheme already in place with a colorful new quilt thrown over the bed and add accessories, such as coordinating cushions and wall hangings, to complete the look.

Making quilts is relatively simple and only a few specialist items of equipment are needed to start. Whether you are a beginner or a more experienced needleworker, the comprehensive, clearly illustrated instructions that accompany each design make the projects simple and easy to do. Variations in texture and color can be introduced with appliqué, decorative stitching, or different weights of wadding. Advice on the best material and tools to use and a summary of the essential practical skills provide all of the necessary information to enable you to produce professional looking finished articles.

The great thing about the patterns is that they can all be achieved in a few days, so you can create quick quilts to suit a wide range of changing tastes and rooms.

2.0 out of 5 stars This was not the book I had hoped it would be. 2 April 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I was looking for a good children's quilt book, but was sadly disappointed. There were more "projects" in this book than actual quilt patterns. I had hoped to find a review of this book before buying it but never did, maybe this review will help the next hopeful quilt maker.

4.0 out of 5 stars Colorful and inspirational 27 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If you're looking for fun, easy projects to make for children, this is worth looking out for. The title is a little misleading - it's not just about quilts but such things as children's beanbags, hats and bags - but there are lots of ideas that can be adapted to other projects. It's an interesting blend of traditional and modern, with easy-to-follow explanations for novices.
2.0 out of 5 stars skip this book.... 23 July 2006
By retroredux - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
the book has a couple of cute designs in it but had several faults:

1-the biggest fault, and one is which Firefly Publications was VERY lax-is that even though this is a quilt book for infants and small toddlers-many of the quilts and toys are covered in tiny sewn on embellishments-VERY unsafe, and shows the author's complete lack of understanding of the subject.

2-while the book is hailed as a quilt book-over half the projects are for non quilt items-leaving the reader dissappointed.

3-this book is heavy on the applique aspect, and non existant on quilt patterns.

All in all-this book could have been much better. Save your money for other quilt books.

2 stars.
