One of the best Quilting books ever assembled,
By
This review is from: 101 Patchwork Patterns (Dover Quilting) (Paperback)
This Dover reprint of the classic quilting book by Ruby McKim is one of the best quilting books ever written. The book describes 101 block patterns in both patchwork and applique as well as two embroidered blocks. Scattered among the patterns are eight short, well-written chapters describing how to piece, quilt and applique. Originally written in the late 1920's and early 1930's the instructions are as good as ever and Ms. McKim's writing clear and pleasant. This is an absolute steal at this price. Another gem from Dover.

An Indispensable Book for Traditional Quilting,
By
This review is from: 101 Patchwork Patterns (Dover Quilting) (Paperback)
This book gives you accurate traditional patterns -- that is, you make templates and cut each piece separately, and then sew them all together into blocks. There is an excellent variety of patterns, and many are not well-known nowadays, so the experienced quilter need not fear that there will be nothing new to enjoy. At the same time, there is sufficient information for the absolute beginner.This book is from 1931, so of course it is not up-to-date. There is no mention of modern time-saving methods, and there is a certain quaintness to the text and pictures (maids in caps hold up the quilts, and the swastika pattern is presented with no self-consciousness). However, those who like the quilts of the early 20th century will value not only the patterns but also the color suggestions, which allow the quilter to make perfect retro quilts. And there is simply no better quilt book for the price.

Great History Book of Quilt Information,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One Hundred and One Patchwork Patterns; Quilt Name Stories, Cutting Designs, Material Suggestions, Yardage Estimates, Definite Instructions for Every Step of Quilt Making (Paperback)
This book would be a great gift for anyone interested in quilt history. Interesting information about quilt names, pattern colors, estimating yardage and size was available for almost all patterns in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the stories about the names, the author's comments about methods and some challenging patterns, and the instructions using cardboard templates and quilting designs.
