Format:Paperback
This is the sort of book which makes you rush to your stash to sort it out into lights and darks instantly so that you can get started! Katharine's instructions are very clear and once you have made your pile of half square triangles, there are so many different ways to assemble them. Even fabrics which you don't like very much seem to blend in perfectly once they have been incorporated into a block, and the 'jewel' inserts zing out. In fact, having made one quilt, I am now cutting up more squares to make another!

This is a brilliant book with lovely pictures and lots of ideas and tips for both experienced and beginner quilters. I've been quilting for a while now, and I found it very clear and useful. Buy this one for your long-term bookshelf, it's well worth the money for the interest and stimulation it will give you!

People who save fabrics for patchwork also collect books on the subject - it's the same motivation - finding everything a place. However some books are more likely to be used than others and Katharine Guerrier's will be well thumbed.
The designs and colours are beautiful - they compare favourably with Kaffe Fassett's work; a huge variety of fabrics are used so the student has plenty of choice; the book is a comfortable size and format so it can be flicked through and the different quilts seen at a glance; there are detailed close ups, very clear instructions and useful additional information. An ideal book!

I really like this!
The quilts in this book are relatively simple shape-wise; lots of squares and triangles. But by deft selection of colours and balancing dark/ medium/ light shades the author... Read more
