EGG MONEY QUILTS

I'M ALWAYS INTERESTED IN QUILT PATTERNS BY ELINOR BURNS. HER PATTERNS ARE SO EASY TO FOLLOW, YARDAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL SIZES OF QUILTS ARE THERE, HER METHODS TO CUT AND ASSEMBLE THE QUILT ARE EASY TO FOLLOW --- AND, MOST IMPORTANT, AS A BEGINNING QUILTER, I WAS ABLE TO FINISH MY FIRST BED QUILT FOLLOWING HER DIRECTIONS. I'M HOOKED.

egg money quilts takes the cake1

Great book. I love the family stories and pictures throughout the book. Instructions are simple to follow and explained will. I especially like the variations of quilts possible with just a rearrangement of the blocks. This one is a keeper!

I had been wanting to make a Dresden Plate quilt for years, but was too intimidated to start this quilt. Eleanor Burns made the Dresden Plate block easy and doable, I am almost finished with my quilt!

A collector's item

This delightful book is a unique keeper. It is a visual treat of reproduction fabric projects. The spiral bound design makes it special and so easy to read as the pages lie flat. The cardboard templates easily punch out and don't need to be cut. My first project will be the 1930's style Etta's apron which also includes a paper pattern. A nice touch is the appropriate quilting design or a chicken or rooster located at the page number.

A very nice comprehensive book for beginning/intermediate quilters who are interested in the 30's era patterns. It's just fun to read, and the quilt patterns offer the maker options to personalize. Definately recommend this book.
