Rachel Pellman excells in being plain, simple and concise. This book includes not only the patterns for making the blocks but quilting designs as well for the complete Amish look. The patterns are in black and white allowing them to be easily photocopied and colored by the experimenting quilter. The assembly instructions are precise and are shown as diagrams making it easy to see and copy each desired block. I find it an invaluable tool and resource for my library. In fact this book is the most used of all my quilting books. While this book is a rare find it is well worth the time to find and use. I highly recommend it particularly for the beginning quilter although the more experience quiltmaker will find much of value here too. Patterns range from the simple Bars and Center Diamond to the complex Star, Rolling Rock,and Jacob's Ladder. This book contains enough patterns to keep quilters busy for years

I bought this book because the patterns looked amazing. While they are very good, and can be used at all skill levels, I'm not pleased with the pattern measurements.

I've now made several quilts from the patterns, following each exactly. My latest turned out to be well over 20 inches wider than it should have. Some of the math appears to be incorrect.

That being said, the patterns ARE useful, and the color suggestions are great - just be prepared to modify your quilt while you're working on the top if you have strict measurements in mind.

Arrived fast, perfect condition. Excellent people to do business with, would definitely deal with them again.
