5.0 out of 5 stars You might end up making one for yourself, May 25, 2001

This review is from: Incredible Quilts for Kids of All Ages (Needlework & Quilting) (Paperback)

This book contains some wonderful patterns for quilts for kids (and you might end up making one for your inner child, too). There are fishes, snakes, geese and pigs; a princess and a dog nap quilt; samplers with farm animals, clowns and faces that can be individualized.

I have made a quilt with the brothers and sisters pattern and it was a lot of fun to play with the different fabrics for the dresses, stockings, shirts etc. It is not a quilt for a beginner, but not that difficult to sew either.

The wonderful color photos that are included always make me itch to try another pattern.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for quilters!, February 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Incredible Quilts for Kids of All Ages (Needlework & Quilting) (Paperback)

This book is a good addition to my library. As an elementary art teacher, I am always looking for ideas to add to my lesson plan resources. Even when the students are just making quilt squares out of paper, this book was useful. The color pictures, and easy to follow steps, can give even a very meticulous planner, some extra help!

3.0 out of 5 stars bright and bold quilt patterns, May 2, 2005

This review is from: Incredible quilts for kids of all ages (Paperback)

Very bright and bold but with precise instructions for varying shapes and sizes of beadspreads, and incredibly simplistic.

15 quilts with a flat photograph of each displayed, and full-size templates for ease of copying.

The patterns cover fish, snakes, princesses, clowns and more - and taste comes into play. Nothing tonal or subdued here, all is bright primaries and contrasting fluroescent colours.

Depending on taste, it could appeal. The simple block patterns are easy enough to employ if you would like to start a child making one of these quilts, perhaps in the classroom.

All instructions are very detailed and concisely explained.

I wasn't particularly drawn to the quilts myself for my child, but perhaps others are and will be. Recommend library borrowing before purchasing this book, that one might not be disappointed.

Happy Quilting!
