5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, May 25, 2004
This review is from: Quilt Lovers' Favorites Volume 1 (Paperback)
If you enjoy Better Homes and Gardens' other books and magazines you will really like this book! Each of the many designs in this book has a large color picture of the quilt, clear directions, and each quilt has a diagram of 'optional sizes' so that you can make the quilt any size. The end of the book has 14 pages of information for the beginner quilter. Along with complete and concise directions and the basic directions in the back, this book would be a good choice for beginners. There is also a wonderful variety of designs including the tradional Log Cabin and Nine Patch blocks along with more challenging designs like Robbing Peter to Pay Paul and Storm at Sea. This book also contains patterns for Red Work and Applique lovers.

Another great feature of this book, something that as a quilter I look for, is that each design has 3 or 4 variations. For instance the Robbing Peter to Pay Paul quilt is first represented in the classic red and white, but there is also a pillow in stripes and plaids and also a tablerunner made in a floral yellow patterned fabric--all of the same design! Laura Boehnke, quilt tester of American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine, does what she does best by designing the alternate choices in color and design for the patterns.

For individuals looking for a book that has a great number and variety of patterns and for individuals needing inspiration to see patterns worked in different color schemes, this is a great book! I am very glad I purchased this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!!, April 1, 2007
This review is from: Quilt Lovers' Favorites Volume 1 (Paperback)
I was given Quilt-Lovers' Favorites Vol. 3 as a gift and loved that book so much I decided to buy Vol. 1. I am so glad I did; this was a great purchase. There are so many quilts I want to make from this book I can't decide which one to start first. What I like about this book are the different color options, the various sizing options (especially crib sizes which I like to give as gifts), and the actual quilting pattern that you can copy at the end of the book (if the pattern isn't provided the description of the quilting pattern is explained instead of the standard "quilt as desired" phrase.)

If you aren't familiar with Quilt-Lovers' Favorites, I recommend trying Vol. 1 & 3. The pictures are great, the instructions are straight forward, and the results are excellent. I'm sure I will try Vol. 2 and 4 in the near future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review from a Happy Quilter, April 8, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I recently bought this book and must say I am very impressed with the fab photos, descriptions and tips it contains. I would say it is for beginners and intermediate quilters and has lots of patterns and great templates. Better Homes and Gardens really does live up to it's name, it is fantastic.
