5.0 out of 5 stars Another Excellent book of patterns, October 19, 2007

This review is from: The Pillows to Patch Quilt Collection: The Hawaiian Way (Paperback)

This is basically the same review I gave for her other 2 books:
I have three of her books in this format and they are all Excellent! Beautiful pictures and patterns. She breaks the patterns apart to give you single and mutli color options, very nice. There are pictures in several color schemes and close-ups of the quilting. Information and meaning about the particular flower or design element is given for each pattern. Instructions for those who don't know how to applique' are very clear. You will want to grab some fabric and start cutting and sewing right away.
