Nice book.,

This review is from: Baltimore Elegance: A New Approach to Classic Album Quilts (Paperback)
Everyone is really excited about this book, but I think her earlier books were better. This book is really geared to the beginner in the Baltimore Album technique, and for them, it is superb. For the more advanced quilter, it is better for patterns and for a reference book. If you want something that will give you real information, get some of her earlier books, even if you have to pay a little more for an out of print copy.

A great tutorial for a beginner in applique,
By Lovin' West Virginia (WV USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baltimore Elegance: A New Approach to Classic Album Quilts (Paperback)
As a seasoned quilter, I had always avoided applique. There were too many conflicting methods floating around, and none of them seemed to work for me. Elly's book clarified everything! She explains all of the methods in easy to understand steps. She explains the hows and the whys, and tells you what to look for to avoid problems down the road. The lessons are terrific, and presented in clear, concise steps with good illustrations. Her patterns advance in skill level as the lessons progress. My projects were a success, thanks to Elly, and I now feel comfortable with applique.

This review is from: Baltimore Elegance: A New Approach to Classic Album Quilts (Paperback)
Baltimore Elegance approaches the technique of applique' through six lessons that offer the quilter experience at various techniques. Also included are embellishing techniques such as padded applique', ruching, embroidery and using beads. Projects included go from the simple to more complex designs. The patterns are for an 8" x 8" finished block so if you want to make something larger the patterns will need to be enlarged. Enlargement percentages are given. As a beginner, I was not intimidated. I'm glad to have this book in my reference library.
