I have the first book this author wrote, and was extremely disappointed to find out that at least half the blocks in her new book are repeated from her first book. I feel that the title is misleading. Several of the authors of multiple volumes on the same subject are in my library. Examples would be Bethany Reynolds, Marsha McCloskey, Sharyn Craig, and Carol Doak. In each and every case, the blocks or techniques do not repeat the items that appeared in their earlier books. Therefore, it's logical to expect that a book entitled "More Biblical Blocks" would have additional blocks to the ones you already have.

Have you ever bought a CD of an artist you liked to find out that half or more of the songs were repeats from one you already owned? Well, this is the equivalent. Since the book isn't cheap, it's doubly disappointing.

Whereas I do agree that the directions are guite good, they are no better than those contained in many other books on the market by other authors, so there is nothing remarkable in that arena. If you have this author's "Biblical Blocks" book, I'd recommend skipping this one. If you're considering buying one of her books, buy only this one and skip the first, so it can have value to some. I, however, feel ripped off.

This book hasmany beautiful quilt squares. However, be aware that if you have the authors first book on quilt squares you may want to think about buying this one. About half of the squares are repeats from the first book.

I have been quilting for almost 20 years and this is one of the best books I've ever used. The directions are concise and understandable, the measurements are accurate and precise allowing an ease of construction and finished block that fits into the overall quilt. I am in the process of making every . block detailed in the book. I would certainly recommend this book .

I really enjoyed this book. The directions were nicely written although I still found the paper piecing method a little challenging to follow (this was my first go at the paper piecing method, so it could have just been me). I really appreciated the arrows indicating pressing direction. I also enjoyed the inclusion of colored pictures of alternate options for layout; this aided my own decision for how to piece together the final quilt. The other nice thing was including the Bible passage which gave a history of that particular block. I plan to use these blocks again and again.

This is a beautiful book; it is illustrated so nice, and it has easy directions to follow. A friend of mine has this book and I just had to have it. I love this book.

Couldn't have asked for a better service, book was delivered sooner than stated when ordering. Book was in excellent condition, couldn't even tell it had been used.
