A Good Buy

This book is very concise and yet includes all of the details necessary for completing a first time quilt or instructing a child to create one of many quilts. I like that there are instructions given on how to deviate from the sample to create your own unique quilt. The tips for teaching children are excellent. The tools and supplies section and finishing techniques are also very helpful. I will be refering to this book when I plan my next children's quilting class. A must have reference for any new quilting teacher.

Beautiful book

This book is full of beautiful photos and wonderful instructions. Some great quilt ideas for boys too. An excellent book for beginners, young or old. I love the variety of blocks, 15 of them in all. Most books for kids do not contain as many. Kids Start Quilting with Alex Anderson, for example, has only 5 blocks to choose from. The author's other book, Kids Can Quilt is also wonderful and I recommend having them both. I wrote my original review for this book many years ago and it is still my favorite quilt book. Considering I have a book case full of quilt books that says a lot. I am a big fan! Buy this book.

Expands the quilting idea to children's hands

Where other titles limit projects to wall quilts and blocks, this provides larger more satisfying kid-friendly projects for 15 traditional styles and larger pieces.
