I've been quilting blocks from kits (pre-cut pieces) and having fun. I was nervous starting a quilt on my own. These patterns are fun and only look difficult. The "Windows in the Attic" is my favorite. I can complete a quilt top from this book in about 6 hours (cutting and piecing) and look forward to the quilting. Great for beginners or anyone who wants professional results quickly. Low stress - just follow the directions. Great for your collection.

When I couldn't get into a quilting class, I bought this book and was delighted with how clear and simple the instructions were. I've made two quilts out of this book without one real lesson on quilting. Think beyond the juvenile prints to use these patterns for other types of quilts or wall hangings. I think it is a great place to start.

I'm very much a beginning quilter, and most of my projects have been small ones, for my own personal consumption. (God forbid that anybody see all my mistakes) This book has helped me move to the next level, by giving me both the inspiration and the clear instructions to create a baby quilt for my nephew's first child. I'm doing the quilting now, and I feel really good about giving this (adorable) quilt to the new baby.

Among the things I appreciated is that EVERY quilt has a full color photo, with enough detail for me to figure out how it's supposed to go together. There are plenty of choices, all of which are simple and attractive. (Okay, "incredibly cute" is probably a better description. But the designs are all sweet rather than sappy.)

Also, the instructions are very clear about how much fabric you need, so I didn't feel as though I had to make guesses or rely on my unconfidant quilting math.

If you're a first timer, this may not be your very first quilting book; there are others that do a more thorough job about the basics of rotary cutting, for instance. But if you're like me, for your first non-table-runner project you want something that's manageable but non-trivial. This book is a great guide in achieving that goal.

This book triumphs in providing excellent patterns that are stimulating for the beginning quilter. The uniqueness of this book is that it demonstrates how to incorporate children's topic fabrics into traditional blocks. Its marrying the traditional patterns of quilting while including the new colors and fabrics available today.
The directions are clearly written with illustration that anyone walking off the street could successfully accomplish making a baby quilt that will be very pleasing.
I have used this book as the primer for teaching a class of first time grandmothers new to sewing to each make a quilt for their grandchild in a weekend. It would be a lovely gift from a pregnant daughter to her own mother.
What person wouldn't love to find a baby quilt that their grandmother made just for them?

I have made many of the quilts from this book. I second all the comments made by the first reviewer. I wanted to add that any of these quilts can be expanded to make lap size quilts or bigger by increasing the amounts of fabrics. Any experienced quilter could make these quilts without these directions but save yourself time and follow these very explicit, very well written directions. Cutting directions and piecing directions are well thought out. Don't think of these as just baby quilts. Use more sophisticated colors for lap quilts or even bed quilts. I've recommended this book to many quilters over the years.

Wow! This is a great book - full of wonderful ideas for making really easy quilts. Just looking through the book is stimulating! The author uses creative combinations of bright colorful fabrics. After I made one of these quilts I went on to make all of them! My sister and sister-in-law saw how quickly I was putting together these quilts and, they too, have purchased the book and are creating wonderful quilts for babies. This book is definitely a must have if you're into quick and easy quilts. her second book, "More Quilts for Baby" is even better.

As a beginning quilter, I'm easily intimidated by some quilt patterns, but this book offers a user-friendly approach to each pattern. The author makes it easy to re-adjust fabric choices and placement, even the finished size and then quickly figure out how much of each fabric to purchase. She also provides lots of inside tips (with easy to follow diagrams) that help ensure your quilting experience is a good one. I've used several of her patterns to make quilts that look far more complicated to make than they really are and with a change of fabric choices they make the perfect gift for any age group. This is a MUST-HAVE for beginning quilters who want to make crib/lap sized quilts as gifts.

This is a wonderful quilt book for beginners and for experienced quilters. Choose different fabrics, add blocks to the length and width, and you will have a quilt for a teenager or an adult. I have all three of Ursula Reikes' baby quilt books and love them all. I just completed a baby quilt last month and have a quilt in process for my teenaged niece with the patterns for both courtesy of Ursula Reikes.
