My pattern pack came today and I was really disappointed. There are 20 full size patterns for 8" blocks and a booklet with applique instructions. The pictures showing applique and binding techniques are too small to be very useful. Moreover, the largest picture of the quilt is 3.5" X 4 inches. I'd expected at least one full size color picture of the quilt and maybe some close up pics of some of the blocks. There are some pictures of the quilt on the cover of the pattern pack showing 6 of the blocks and a quilt in a different colorway with 9 blocks on the back of the pack, but that's it. Very disappointed. I love their books but I won't be buying any more of the pattern packs.

I got this pattern pack; packed it up and took it with me on a three day retreat. I had great fun taking it with me to the half dozen shops we visited picking out bright, fun fabrics to use in the blocks. The instructions are well done. You're given the choice of applique methods to use and directions for each method. As with all Piece O'Cake projects, many pieces are involved so organization is key. I've started on my first block and am enjoying it immensely.

I will most definately use these patterns, make the quilt(s) and adapt blocks into loving gifts. Lovely patterns, well written, all around 5 star!

Whimsical is perfectly entitled. Great book, instructions and fun, fun, fun for the quilter who likes hand applique or fusible applique.

This is another winner from the Piece O'Cake ladies. The designs are indeed, whimsical. The reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5, is that it is not a book. It is a package containing the patterns and instructions. I would have preferred it to be in books form.

Was a bit surprised that it is not a bound book, but the pages for each block are very detailed. I have not started on it, but friends think it is going to be fun when we do. I have looked at it numberous times, and finally ordered when a friend wanted another book.

Really cute pictures that are easy to applique on machine, but there are lots of pieces to each one

I am looking forward to making a beautiful quilt with these applique patterns. I love the bright happy colors and know it will be great fun.

This will be one of the first projects when my fabric is unpacked. The colors are going to be brilliant in my new home. The designs are clear and directions very understandable. Can't wait to get started.

I received my book, it took a little too far.
I loved it! It's very beautiful work of her friends Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins.
They explain everything in detail making it very easy to construct the quilt.
I recommend buyin
