5.0 out of 5 stars best compendium of patterns for quilters yet written, December 26, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Better Homes and Gardens 501 Quilt Blocks: A Treasury of Patterns for Patchwork & Applique (Hardcover)

Any pattern you are looking for is there. The patterns are easy to enlarge, or downsize even further for you mini-quilters. It has projects to complete. I have used the projects as spring boards for my own creativity. It contains seasonal, children's, holiday, floral, sports, and regular patch work patterns.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much to see, can't put it away, May 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Better Homes and Gardens 501 Quilt Blocks: A Treasury of Patterns for Patchwork & Applique (Hardcover)

This is a good book to get inspired. Wonderfull just to look at all the patterns, some are difficult to make. I also use it when somebody mentions a block and I don't what they mean.
