Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Get into making minis in a big way with the 17 patterns in this delightful book. Even if you've never made a miniature quilt before, success can be yours right from the start. That's because each pattern features easy-to-handle pieces, none of them smaller than 1". The blocks range in size from 2" to 6". The biggest challange is deciding which quilt to make first. There are traditional favorites such as Spools, Rail Fence, Shoofly, Pinwheels and Hunter's star. Love samplers? Try the five-block Country Home mini. There are fun designs, too, like the whimsical pieced Blockheads and Liberty Star quilts. Big 'n Easy patterns are a popular feature of Miniature Quilts magazine but most of these patterns are brand new, never-before-published designs. This book is a perfect introduction to miniature quilting for anyone who wants to piece a quilt top in an evening, about 4 hours. Whether you want to stitch quick and thoughtful gifts or decorative accents for your home, these minis will fill the bill.

This review is from: Big 'N Easy Mini Quilts (Paperback)
There are 17 clearly photographed minature quilts featured in this softcover book. There is a good range of quilts from traditional styles such as pinwheels and stars to more whimsical pattens such as spools (of cotton) and houses. Measurements are given in inches and are clear and easy to follow. Helpful diagrams are provided to aid in assembling each block of the quilt. This is a very good book for a beginner or experienced minature quilter.

This review is from: Big 'N Easy Mini Quilts (Paperback)
It's been awhile since I've looked at this book but in so doing, I found several projects I've decided to do (guess it just got lost in the shuffle)! I am especially impressed by the "Hunter's Star Variation." Wonderful sense of color & design. The "Autumnal Blaze" is, for me, a must do as is the "Pinwheel" and "Square in a Square." I think you would find this book to be very pleasing and useful. I've always trusted the author, Christiane Meunier, to come up with delightful quilts.
