Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* An amazing amount of meticulous research elevates this compendium from a ho-hum aggregate to one that inspires and engages. Well-known quilter and prolific author (a dozen titles, such as Quilting by Hand, 2004, and Patchwork Puzzle Balls, 2005) Beyer pored through newspapers, catalogs, patterns, and magazines of the 1800s and 1900s to prepare illustrations—along with grids, dates, and multiple names—of more than 4,000 quilting blocks, the foundation of this genre of stitching. Yet providing that resource wasn’t enough; Beyer enhances her encyclopedic reference by featuring mini catalogs of like-minded design styles, like bow ties, airplanes, the Red Cross, and kaleidoscope blocks. She also details her sources with commentary and explains how she categorized the blocks. Worthy of any quilting (and quilter’s) library. --Barbara Jacobs

5.0 out of 5 starsTwo Thumbs UP!!
By Amazon Customer on January 27, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Wow, I just found out about this book and ordered a copy right away. After it arrived today, these are my thoughts. First off, I am a huge fan of Jinny Beyer's work. I have almost all of her other books and have been very influenced by her teaching books. I learned to love and enjoy hand piecing because of Jinny and really appreciate her quilt designs with influences from India. For this book, I absolutely loved the very huge section on quilt grids! Huge amounts of information to empower you to create your own block designs. That is hugely exciting to me, rather than feel stuck with something in a pattern that is same old, same old. I get bored easily because quilting can feel very repetitive and monotonous but with the huge variety of quilt blocks, each one is a new adventure. That section of the book is like a treasure chest to me. Ok, now here is some information on the book that you should be aware of. The "finished" quilt blocks are probably made using computer software and digital copies of Jinny's fabric (I don't think each and everyone of these were actually made) - still a huge amount of work! Second, while the book does have 5000 or so blocks (I didn't count but can easily imagine there are after flipping through the book), there might be 25 variations on a single block. Finally, there are no measurements or instructions for piecing the blocks, that is up to you to figure out. An unbelievable work of quilt scholarship, "The" authoritative reference on probably every quilt block known to man, and the fun of reading passages written by Jinny throughout the book. If you don't feel you need this much information, Jinny is a very generous quilter and has provided many quilt block designs and patterns available on her website for free.

5.0 out of 5 starsJinny does it again
By Becky A. Kelher on November 7, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
What an absolute compedium of knowledge Jinny has amassed in this book. If you want to know the history of a block, this book will tell you. It is also a virtually endless source of block ideas, and a manual on how to decipher the drafting of any goven type of block, and how to draft the blocks yourself. And every single block shown in color, in real fabric. What a visual delight!

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Quilters Album of Patchwork Patterns
By Barbara C. VanBurger on November 3, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
A beautifully presented work of Jinny Beyer , certainly worth the wait. Informative and instructional work of highest quality. A must have for the library of every true quilter. And if you are new to the art, the contents will certainly help you to a quilt of quality. It covers every type of quilt block and the grid to achieve the block or perhaps find a new block inspired by the information.
Jinny has again achieved the the best of the best among quilters.

By Jean M. Judd on November 14, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
My copy of Jinny's new book just arrived and it is beyond my expectations. The images of every quilt block is just spectacular. The colors are wonderful and the information provided is perfect for those interested in the history of the over 4,000 quilt blocks included in this book. Worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book for patchwork ideas
By Lynnita Knoch on January 30, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Jinny Beyer has done an outstanding job bringing together thousands of pieced blocks. Inspiration abounds in this book! Jinny gives an overview of the sources for blocks, drafting blocks, designing quilts, coloring blocks, and using her signature: border prints. Also included are transparencies of various grids; ie. 4x4, 9x9, 21x21, star-grid, hex-grid, etc. Every quilter should include this book in their reference library.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful book
By R. Condon on February 7, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Excellent book written by Jinny Beyer, a master of her craft. It is a history of 4,000+ quilt squares: when each was first published, who published it, and the many names given to a particular square. There are no patterns, per se, but the author explains carefully how to draft the patterns shown in the book using grids and the templates included with the book. Also, line drawings of the squares are given which correspond with the photographs of each square. Excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 starsGold Standard
By A. Valentine on February 10, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book is inspirational and the gold standard of quilt blocks. If there is one book for the serious quilter to own, this is that one. Jinny Beyers process for looking at a block and converting it to a pattern is outstanding. The indexes and guides within the book cover just about any type pattern style I have dreamed up. This will keep me happy for years.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Quilters Album of Patchwork Patterns: 4040 Pieced Blocks for Quilters
By V. Dukovic on February 12, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Excellent book. A heavy book, but if you are wanting to find and a particular type of block or an individual quilting lbock for a quilt top, then it is most likely in this book. The grid sheets are a great resource to use in making the blocks also. Well worth the money I spent to have this in my quilting book library.
