This is a five-star quilting book.
In this book, many traditional blocks are broken down into their components and "new" blocks evolve from these components. When the new block(s) are combined with the traditional block, magic happens.
The best quilt books provide inspiration to the reader to move beyond just replicating a pattern to create her/his own works, and Lerlene Nevaril achieves this in Hidden Block Quilts.
I don't think I will ever run out of unique design ideas with this book in my quilting library!

I get just about every quilting book from the library first to see if I like it before I purchase it. This book was a pleasant surprise and I'll be definitley be buying this one. Instead of repeating the same block throughout the quilt, this book shows how to (sometimes) take out some elements of the block and add other elements for an unique and beautiful effect. Very colorful book too with lots of patterns.

I love this book. I made one quilt already and plan more. Endless possibilities. Also like the 2 different sizes available. A great one for your library.

My new favorite quilting book! My students love this technique of finding the hidden blocks. So easy to design a beautiful quilt using Lurlene's method.

great reference with lots of ideas - one of the best foundation books for a quilter's library.

The ideas from this book are easily transferable to other quilt blocks. There are terrific ideas for a variety of quilts, with yardages and layouts for all sizes. Templates are included. I'm enjoying this book very much!

I am amazed at what can be achieved with the one block. This is a fantastic book, full of inspiration

Our club is working through this book this year. I took a block not in the book and used the concept to create a quilt no one else has done. The quilts and blocks in the book are wonderful as well. The directions are easy to follow.

I received this item in a timely manner and it was in excellent condition. Have looked through the book several times and can't wait to make several quilts now. Would order from this person again, definitely.

The information on how to form the blocks was very good but it would have been an asset if there was some material yardage to make a quilt with the blocks that are given. Not everyone is capable of calulating yardage from the amount of fabric used in a single block
