In response to overwhelming demand, Elly Sienkiewicz presents a second collection of her most popular out-of-print Baltimore Album quilt block patterns, plus new designs you won't find anywhere else. • Over 75 full-scale block and border patterns for Baltimore-style Album quilts, fully annotated for history, symbolism, and construction
• Includes 12 NEW Baltimore-style designs from Elly
• Features patterns personally chosen by Elly from her most sought-after out-of-print books: "Papercuts and Plenty"; "Baltimore Album Quilts"; "Baltimore Beauties and Beyond, Volume Two"; and "Dimensional Applique"
• Preface by Elly with commentary on Baltimore Album quilts and the current revival of interest in them
• Plus a glossary of terms and complete index for finding multiple patterns of any block style (baskets, bouquets, papercuts, etc.) Note: The printing quality in this copy may vary from the original offset printing edition and may look more saturated due to printing on demand by a high-quality printer on uncoated paper. The information presented in this version is the same as the most recent printed edition. Any pattern pullouts have been separated and presented as single pages.

2.0 out of 5 stars Book, February 8, 2002

This review is from: The Best of Baltimore Beauties: 95 Patterns for Album Blocks and Borders (Paperback)

I was disappointed. As a new quilter, I have been looking forward to doing a Baltimore albumn quilt. The book keeps refering to previous books and lessons to learn how to use the patterns, but does not attempt to explain or assist the reader in any way. I do not own any previous books so this one leaves me cold. Not recommended for new quilters like myself.

Elly Sienkiewicz books in the past have been absolutely fantastic. I am disappointed in that this book is a repeat except for a few patterns (7). There really is nothing new here. If I had never purchased any of her other books I would rate it a 5
