Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Although this book includes 14 miniature quilt projects ranging in size from dollhouse miniatures to large lap quilts, it is more than a project book. Fully half of the book is devoted to miniature-quilting techniques, with chapters on fabrics, rotary cutting and templates, machine and hand-piecing, strip and foundation-piecing, applique, settings and borders, and assembling and finishing. Step-by-step project instructions with piecing diagrams make this an excellent guide for miniature-quilt enthusiasts at any level and public libraries where quilting books circulate often will appreciate the sturdy binding and quality paper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear directions, great tips and beautiful projects., October 19, 1998

This review is from: Quick Little Quilts (Paperback)

Despite the fact that I own too many quilt books, after borrowing this one from my local library, I had to get my own copy. The projects range from simple to moderately difficult and include paper piecing foundations and templates as well as yardage amounts and directions for various sizes. Wickell's colors are attractive, the diagrams clear and the directions easy to follow. I especially like the tips included in the margins. It's equally appropriate for the novice or the experienced quilter

I first saw this book in the hands of a friend, and I followed her into the library so I could check it out for myself. There were many projects that I thought I would like to make, so I figured I needed my own copy of the book. Luckily, the book was listed for sale on Amazon.com. The price was a fair one, and the condition was very good, so I made the purchase. Now, I need to find the time to pursue one of these dreamed-of little quilts!
