4.0 out of 5 stars Georgia Bonsteel makes it easy., December 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Lap Quilting With Georgia Bonesteel (Paperback)

I found this book to be well written and informative. The quilt patterns range from simple to complex for beginners and the more experienced quilter. For those of you who are beginners, invest in a rotary cutter system for this will make redundant cutting of pieces much faster and easier. I did find that I needed to purchase some extra yardage of fabrics due to my choice in color and arrangements, keep this in mind if you should chose to vary from the colors used in the book. I would have liked to see pointers on how to handle complex intersections in some of the star patterns that would have made them lay nicer. I had to learn by trial and error. (Practice with scraps on these until you feel you have it down.) All in all I found this volume to be well laid out with beautiful photography and helpful. The abundance of available pattern pieces was generous and should keep the reader busy attempting to recreate the wonderful quilts depicted in the book.

I first purchased this book about 15 years ago, Georgia use to do a show on my local PBS station and I had started to quilt with a church group. Time goes by, rotary cutters and mats all make sewing our little projects so much more enjoyable. I love her BIG designs that work up so nicely. Lots of room for creativity.

I love Georgia's books and have been using them for years. I am not interested in creating a few intricate artsy masterpieces, but, rather many beautiful, fun, useful quilts. Georgia's books are filled with ideas to make that happen. I used to hit the library looking for Georgia's books when inspiration was needed. Finally, I realized these were books I well worth owning. Whether you lap quilt a block at a time (and each book in the series gives great instructions for this) or quilt after piecing the entire top, these books will provide more ideas and direction than you can imagine.
