2.0 out of 5 stars Templates, Templates, Templates!, June 20, 2004

This review is from: Around the Block Again: More Rotary-Cut Block from Judy Hopkins (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)

My neighbor had purchased the first book in the series called, Once Around the Block, so I thought I would get the second book. I had read a review stating that the third book would not be for beginners, since I am a fairly new quilter, I thought the second book would be okay. However, I missed the fact that the majority of the blocks require templates! I hate templates. They are so time consuming compared to just rotary cutting everything. The templates I have used aren't even standard measurements on a quilter's ruler either so strip cutting doesn't work--less than a eighth inch increments.

The blocks are more unique than in the first book but I would not make a large quilt using these blocks!

This review is from: Around the Block Again: More Rotary-Cut Block from Judy Hopkins (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)

The first book in this series is a favorite source of patterns, and so is this one, but....

Instead of listing the measurements of common blocks, like a 2-5/8 " square it will say T1 or some such and you have to look in the back to figure out what size this is. I hate templates! It was a much better format in the first book.

5.0 out of 5 stars More wonderful block ideas, March 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Around the Block Again: More Rotary-Cut Block from Judy Hopkins (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)

Judy Hopkins once again provides quilters with a wonderful selection of blocks, including from easy to the very unique. Combining traditional blocks with rotary cutting techniques. I liked the variety, the basic instructions, as well as the color and black/white illustrations of each block. The advice on "Planning Your Quilt" though brief, is informative. I think beginner as well as advanced quilters will enjoy this book. However, beginning quilters will need other references to finish their quilts.
