Not So Special
I once owned this book but gave it away.I didn't find anything special about any of the quilts in it and, given so many wonderful books on miniatures, I wouldn't recommend that anyone spend any money on this one.

Great but . . .
This a wonderful book with lovely designs and a full color picture of each completed quilt. The paper templates are preprinted on heavy cardstock paper in the center of the book. My only complaint is....if you intend to machine quilt these, you will have to add a 1/4 seam allowance around each template. It is well worth buying for the beautiful traditional designs such as: drunkard's path, broken dishes etc.,

Excellent book for beginning or experienced quilters!
This is a really good value for the price.It shows 20 different quilt patterns for miniature quilts that could all be made into full-size quilts.It gives great easy-to-follow instructions and includes the pattern piecesyou need.I am really enjoying it! ... Read more

Spectacular Designs and Colors!
I borrowed this book from a friend and was amazed by the wonderful designs and use of color.The authors used a very unique and original method of arranging the appliqued designs. The designs in this book are interesting new twists on traditional designs like the pomegranate and other floral designs.One of the things that I found most interesting was that the backgrounds of the designs are pieced with fabrics of similar hues, tones, and colors which helped to enrich the design and add interest.All of the designs are applique.Read more

Two-hour Quilted Christmas Projects by Cheri Saffiote
I was very pleased to receive this book.The condition of this book was excellant.I was also very impressed at how fast I received the book.I had it in less than two weeks. This is a light-hearted book of simple quilting projects.
Some quilting books are a disappointment and don't deliver the content you expect from the cover, but "Two-Hour Quilted Christmas Projects" is terrific. The items are easy and refreshing. The patterns and directionsare complete. This book deliversmore than I expected. Although thehardcover price was hard to accept I think I will get my money's worthbecause I will actually make several of the projects in the book.

The best stitchery book ever...
This book has terrific directions..excellent pictures.So many projects to choose from. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to dohand quilting .these projects were so much fun and gave me a great sense ofaccomplishment. ... Read more

Another must-have book for quilters
I love this book!I was having a hard time figuring out what to do with all of the fat quarters of fabric that I collect and this book gave me the answer.All of the quilts are beautiful.She gives great directions - from cutting up your scraps to making the actual quilt.I can't wait to start making one of these quilts.She also shows the each quilt using a different color theme.It is a great book - I highly recommend it if you are a fabric collector like me!

Extremely Helpful Book with Great Designs!
I really liked this book for several reasons.It gives extremely concise and clear cutting charts for the size quilt you wish to make.The examples shown in the book are extremely colorful and show good use of using mulitple fabrics and scraps.Read more

More then a Primer on Color use in Quilts
I purchased this book after watching a quilting show hosting the author and her specific knowledge about the importance of color in quilting.Before I took my first beginning quilting class, I STUDIED the first few chapters on color so that I could make proper fabric selections for the class project.I can tell you that my piecing and quilting were just "okay;" however, the quilt itself is beautiful because I great fabric combinations.I couldn't have made such a nice first quilt had I not carefully learned the importance of all aspects of color (value, intensity, etc...) as taught by this book!Its advanced in lots of ways...but if you stay focused on the crux of what it is teaching...you'll get so much out of it!

Interesting but not especially useful
This book contains a lot of facts about hues, shades, tints, complements, split complements, triads, tetrads, luminosity, transparency, contrast, depth and intensity. If you really care about all these things, then thisis just the book for you. The author explains this "colorvocabulary" very well, using examples and exercises. But do we reallyneed to know all that to make beautiful quilts? No, I don't think so. Iused to think I had no color sense but this book made me realize that Ichoose my fabrics well without thinking about color theory.

An eye opener
This is a beautiful book. I have read it over and over again, studying the various blocks and quilts. It has inspired me to try my own color schemes and improved my confidence in choosing the right colors to go together in aquilt. A big thanks to the authors ! ... Read more

An Excellent Primer
Unlike so many of the quilting books out there that get positively sappy, this revised Singer volume remains an excellent primer for the beginner trying to understand the concept and practice of basic quilting.I've seen no other publisher make the effort of so many full-color photos illustrating step-by-step how to design, construct and execute a quilt.Well worth the asking price.

An excellent reference book for anybody who sews.
I recently purchased this book to use as a reference guide for a quilt I am working on.This book is fabulous!It includes step-by-step instructions on just about every aspect of the quilting process.The bookalso includes well illustrated pictures along with the instructions, whichenhances the books value.I did feel however that the book did not explainquilting terms as in depth as I would have liked.Despite this, I feelthis book should be added to the library of anyone who does quilt, or plansto quilt in the future.Had I read this book before quilting for the firsttime, my first quilt would have been a less daunting process.If you don'thave this book, get it soon! ...

Quick and Easy Scrap Quilts
I love this book. I go back to it from time to time. A good book for a quilters library. I have made several quilts in the book.
Finally, a really excellent scrap quilt book!
I had been frustrated with previous scrap quilt and fat quarter quilt books that often called for significant yardage of certain fabrics, and then a few small pieces of fabric.I need something to do with all my bits and pieces--when I have lots of yardage, I'll go with a conventional pattern, thank you!This book is chock full of interesting quilts that truly utilize your scrap collection.I can easily pick out eight or ten quilts that I'd like to do from this book--usually it's hard to find more than five from any given publication that one actually wants to try.The book is well-laid out, too, and the patterns are easy to follow and able to be completed in a reasonable amount of time.I now grin gleefully whenever I get new scraps, because thanks to this book, I have plans for them!

Disappointed
I am a little disappointed by this book. There is nothing new or different, quite boring really. ... Read more
