Customer Reviews

By a Quilter

This book should be in every quilter's library. It gives good instruction on how to go about taking multiple size blocks and making an innovatiove cohesive unit that is pleasing to the eye.

Wow! Great new ways to think about setting blocks!

I was tired of always arranging blocks in the traditional rectangle. Seeing blocks set in so many various ways gives renewed creativity to any beautiful quilt and wall hanging.

Beyond the basics

This book is not for beginners, but more for those of us that have a lot of unused quilt blocks sitting around. It is also good for the experienced quilter that is board and wants a new twist to making quilt tops.

Recommended by the Accidental Quilter

I've got lots of quilting books, but not many that offer innovative settings for the sampler square collections that I'm beginning to acquire. This book is for me. Layouts for sixteen quilts and all of them use straight line piecing. There are full color photos and advice on fabric choices. Best of all there are sample layouts to play with. I've always liked Margaret Miller's approach of playing with design by breaking a block down to a couple basic shapes and playing with it. I'm glad that she's extended this method to quilt settings.
