5.0 out of 5 stars What a great approach!, September 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Block by Block: New Techniques for Machine Quilting and Assembly (Paperback)

This is a great way to get started learning to machine quilt. By working on one block at a time, instead of a whole quilt top, the quilting process becomes more manageable. Detailed instructions are given for 25 different blocks, 5 corner designs, and 3 types of sashings, that you can mix and match to make any size quilt you would like. Step-by-step and easy to follow cutting and piecing instructions are given, plus an 8-page gallery of quilts that are quite inspiring. But best of all are the excellent suggestions on how to quilt each block.

jessica hansen (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Block by Block: New Techniques for Machine Quilting and Assembly (Paperback)

This book is GREAT! The instructions are very clear. I love the yardage chart, it takes out the guess work. These instructions on how to quilt block by block can be applied to any quilt pattern. This was the best purchase ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK, July 19, 2005

Betty A. Engell (state of NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Block by Block: New Techniques for Machine Quilting and Assembly (Paperback)

At the time I purchased Block by Block, I also purchased two other "quilt as you go" books. This is, by far, the ONLY book I would have needed!!!
You are able to quilt one block at a time...so I am able to really get into machine quilting.
Then, there are instructions for connecting the blocks...to make any size quilt from a wall hanging to a king size!!!
I am really impressed with the clear directions and the ease in machine quilting! I LOVE to hand quilt...but with this technique...I will be able to make some faster quilts from time to time...and we all need a "fast quilt" now and then!

2.0 out of 5 stars Great on assembly, but less than three pages on Machine Quilting!
I would like to give this book two separate ratings. As a basic how-to-make-quilts book, it deserves perhaps four stars. Read more
