2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, January 12, 2004

This review is from: More Quilts from the Quilt Maker's Gift (Paperback)

I am a huge fan of the first Quilts from the Quiltmaker's Gift publication. I loved the book and have made three quilts that were inspired from the patterns found there. This sequel, More Quilts from the Quiltmaker's Gift is inferior on nearly every level. The patterns are not so interesting, and seem more fussy and complex. In addition, in this sequel publication, the patterns are not rated by level of difficulty, which I believe is a detriment. Finally, the actual quality of the book is not good. Within a day of bringing it home from the store, the cover of the book had curled up like a wood shaving! I think the authors would have done well to stick with the same publisher who put out their first effort. About the only good things I can say about the book is that the instructions seem clear and the photos of other color options are helpful.

This book is even better than the first! The quilts are gorgeous, the instructions easy. I've make many of the quilts from the first book and can't wait to start with these quilts. Includes many quilting techniques, including foundation peicing. A good book for beginners to the advanced quilter.

I loved the first book, Quilts from the Quiltmaker's Gift, so I just had to have this second book. And I wasn't disappointed! The book is a delight to look at and the quilts are an inspiration. I love that each pattern gives two or more optional design and colour choices. And the fabric requirements and quilt layouts are easily understood and followed. I look forward to making several quilts from the ideas in this book.
