Review

This is a marvelous book for anyone who loves a "puzzle". Gave me great ideas for those blocks that don't quite fit. They put outrageous stuff together and it looks fabulous. I love stuff that's out of the ordinary, and this certainly is. I've added my personal ideas and touches, but thank the author for inspiring me to "climb out of the plain old quilt block box" and move on to greater quilting endeavors!! -Dolly L. Caswell

5.0 out of 5 starsBeyond the Block
By Naomi Krahnert on April 14, 2009
Format: Paperback
I ordered this book because I had a fabric that I did not want to just cut into small pieces. This book showed me just how to handle it. As an
intermediate quilter this book gave me a lot of insight to creating a quilt that showcases my fabric and makes it interesting. I am very happy with this book and would even recommend it for beginners.

5.0 out of 5 starsCreative Quilting
By K. Herman on November 18, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This quilting book gives many ideas for creative quilting, which you could easily adapt to larger quilts, pillows, or wallhangings. Individualized, personalized blocks could easily be incorporated into the quilting to make your quilt a spectacular "one of a kind". I can't wait to use some of the ideas.

By Diva 'Dorothy' on September 1, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is full of lovely ideas to make your Fun Quilt colourful and special.
Not too hard for even a beginner at quilting as the book has easy to follow instructions.
I have used this book on numerous occassions just to spark up a quilt top that 'needed something'
A great book for using up your scrap fabrics and giving the border some interest.
If you want your quilt to get the 'second look' appeal then this book is for you.
