I have an extensive collection of quilt books and I was so excited when I got this one in the mail. I stopped what I was doing and sat down to "read" it. It has lots of great tips in it and the illustrations are remarkable. Edyta's step by step photo's will make it easy for both the new and old quilters. The wall hangings and table runners will be my first try and then onto the quilt. The color samples and her rule of five theory was great. I have seen her as an instructor and enjoyed her presentation, this book is just another great extension of her gift of quilting. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Applique, Disappointing Quilting, November 23, 2009

By 

Leah C. Day - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hop To It (Paperback)

This is a beautiful book of applique designs that are a refreshing change from both traditional designs and the totally non-traditional designs like Piece o' Cake.

This book is just different and the designs have more of a fluid, natural flow to them than most applique blocks.

So if applique is your focus and you're wanting something a bit different, this is a terrific book for you.

But the one thing I must comment on is the quilting. The quilting used over the showcase pieces was disappointing at best and distracting at worst. The advice to "quilt as desired" is great for some quilters, but not for everyone.
