4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Quilts from Humble Beginnings, March 19, 2007
I liked this book because of its colorful, informative content. The pattern directions are easy to follow. The templates are precise and easy to trace or copy to make the quilts in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, May 24, 2007
I lecture on feedsacks and the historical aspect of this book is wonderful. The quilts featured are ok, but they aren't why I bought this book. The factual data more than met my expectations
