Evelyn's book is wonderfully designed. You'll enjoy her unique approach to innovating the traditional log cabin block. Her smooth teaching style shows through the pages of her first book. I have already made one of the quilts from the book and loved the results. Watch for more from this talented teacher and author!

This review is from: Log Cabin Fever: Innovative Designs for Traditional Quilts (Paperback)

The instructions are very well laid out and easy to understand. I am a relatively new quilter, and am making the cover quilt right now. For the cover quilt, Evelyn takes what appears to be a rather complicated pattern, and breaks it down into enjoyable portions. She is an excellent teacher, if you ever have the opportunity...take one of her classes, but until then...this book is a MUST have!
