I really like this book. This book is full of quilting and filling patterns. It is good for creative ideas. This book was exactly what I was expecting. I am glad that I bought this book. It is for beginners and experts alike.

This is a good basic book for quilting patterns. It doesn't go much beyond traditional patterns, but it is definitely a good resource to have. Recommended.

Usefull book. Plenty of nice patterns. No text. Many may wish to copy them out of the book to larger formats. Very pleased.

Linda Macho has created a definitive book on Quilting Patterns, and was first published in 1984. Little did Linda or Dover Publications realise that these patterns would be used for so much more than Hand Quilting.

In 2009, these patterns can be used not only for hand quilting, but for applique (hand or machine), and especially for machine quilting which is so popular these days. Linda takes the time to explain how to use the patterns, including marking your quilt, use of frames, assembling the quilt sandwich and impressively, how to hand quilt. Her illustrations are very easy to follow and well created. Linda talks about how to select quilting patterns to fit specific spaces, which is often a stumbling block for new quilters. Then there is the vast array of ready to use patterns, all printed on heavy stock, which could be used to create combined patterns or just stand alone creations. This is a great sourcebook and I thoroughly recommend it for every quilters library.

These aren't awe-inspiring quilting designs; I doubt you'll say Wow even once. But there are more quilting designs here than in the "60 machine quilting designs" book (which I also own), and they all seem useful and, well, *nice*. The price is right, too, so I'm glad I bought it.

Do note that there are relatively few border designs. Most of the designs are square or round.

Still, this is a decent addition to your library. And at its low price, it'll probably help you fill out an order to get free shipping!

Do you Quilt? Then this is a quilt design resource for you. From hand to machine these designs and the number of designs is a MUST for a Quilters library.

This is a wonderful book for anyone who quilts. There are many designs broken up into sections. Each section has a variety of sizes for different size blocks. The alternating of every other page will allow for easier tracing or coping for use. A creative expression in designs makes this an excellent easy to use book with designs for the veteran quilter or those just getting started.

This book arrived timely and in absolutely perfect condition. I am very impressed.

The book is what it advertised, a variety of quilting patterns with clear instructions on how to use them. Excellent.

Nice heavy paper patterns, can be traced if needed. But I would have liked it better in some type of removable binding. I hate to destroy the book just to copy a page.

I ordered this as a gift, and it was received in good condition and on time.
