3.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, BUT........, February 26, 2009

This review is from: Jelly Roll Quilts (Paperback)

I'm an experienced quilter, and teach new quilters, so I'm always on the lookout for a book I can confidently recommend. The patterns are easy to follow, but unless you know what you are doing, you're going to run into trouble. So far, I've only tried the Garden Trellis pattern. I followed the instructions to sew the tube, and came to the point where I had to cut the triangles. The instructions were very explicit on lining the template up on the seams, but did not point out that the triangle template needed to be lined up 1/4" down the tube, not at the end or your blocks would come out too small....something I should have known to do, but totally missed it my first time around. Also something a beginner would have no clue about.

None of the patterns give fabric requirements for backing fabric. Unless you know how to calculate the yardage for the backing, and how to piece a backing, a beginner will be extremely frustrated. Backing is totally missing from the General Techniques section in the back of the book.

My recommendation.....Go for it! ....but be very mindful of the minute details, and DON'T FORGET TO BUY THE BACKING!!!

This book has beautiful patterns and detailed instructions for each. It also includes alternate color schemes for each quilt. I'm currently making the cover quilt which is going together easily. I would recommend this book for quilters with at least basic knowledge and experience. Jelly Roll Quilts are GREAT for all skill levels.

This review is from: Jelly Roll Quilts (Paperback)

This is one of the best quilt books I've purchased and I have about 25 of them. The book makes you want to buy a jelly roll and get started. Some quilts are more difficult than others, but for someone that's not experienced enough to take on a more complex quilt there lots of simple ones to choose from. The quilts are very attractive for how easy they are. In this book easy does not equal boring.
