I will give it credit for giving a lengthy beginner quilters guide at the end but in terms of the rest of the book I had a number of issues. For some of the quilts there was no photo or drawing of the whole quilt so you could get a good idea of what you were making, most of them didn't have block assembly guides so you could get a visual on how it went together and in some of the samples the workmanship was very poor (stitching all over the place, quilting pinching where the quilt hasn't been pinned flat)

This stunning book of quilts won me over at first browse. It is a wonderful collection of both classic and modern quilts, with instructions that are easy to follow. this book is chock full of quilty inspiration. I have already purchased it for my crafting library and am working on my first of the patterns now.

It is that time of the year! And this book is perfect for anyone wanting to do modern quilts that are not overly country or cutsey. I borrowed it from the library and now wish I could keep it.
