4.0 out of 5 stars Taking the stress out of machine quilting, May 1, 2000

By 

E. F. Calabrese (Harwich MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lap Quilting Lives! (Paperback)

This book has some excellent patterns. Patterns that are a little different, but still viable for a quilter of moderate ability. What I like best about the book is the section on lap quilting. Ms Bonesteel's method of putting the quilt together in strips and then quilting it section by section works out very well for machine quilting, because you are dealing with manageable segments, rather than trying to wrestle with a large quilt at the machine. They can be very unwieldy. While you have more hand work, the results are very neat and professional looking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and Thought-provoking, February 25, 2000

By 

Marcia Sakrison (Santa Rosa, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lap Quilting Lives! (Paperback)

Georgia Bonesteel's book, Lap Quilting Lives!, has several innovative ideas for lap quilted designs. Her instructions are clear and well-written. (While I have chosen a quilt from this book to make, I haven't started the project yet.)

The design choices are varied, from traditional patterns to modern-looking designs.

I would have enjoyed seeing sketches of alternative colorways for several of these quilts.

I'd recommend this book as thought-provoking and inspirational. Encourages "out of the box" thinking for quilters.
