I have tried the methods in this book and was very successful. I used the directions for "Down Home" crazy quilt, using some children's fabrics mixed with calico and an applique on alternate blocks. This made a charming baby quilt. I did not piece the backs of the blocks, but used some flannel. I also tried the method in the book for adding borders. For anyone who hates the struggle of quilting a big quilt on the machine, this is a superior method. I can hand finish the edges of the blocks while watching TV. I am now making the string quilt with plain backs. Uses up all your scraps!

This book is both fun & practical, a boon to a "confident beginner" like myself. The instructions are very clear & the examples are gorgeous. Once you try this method, you might not want to go back, especially for machine-quilting.

Reversible Quilts: Two At A Time by quilting expert Sharon Pederson is a practical, "user friendly", how-to craft book to creating two-sided quilts. Lovely color photographs showcase simple, easy-to-follow instructions for the basic design of ten double-sided quilts, and techniques that can be used with pieced or appliqued creations. A methodological and fun guidebook to a time-tested craft, Reversible Quilts is a welcome and highly recommended addition to any quilting reference collection.

I bought several books on quilting at once. This was one of the better ones. Useful information. Well written. Pictures are lovely and the diagrams are clear. Good for inspiration and refference.

This book is very useful. It provides helpful hints, as well as clear and easy to follow insructions with illustrations. It also has beautiful completed quilts to look at to provide inspiration. Because it is so clearly written, it would be suitable for novice quilters as well as those with quilting experience who want to try a reversible quilt. I have just completed a quilt using it and would thoroughly recommend it.

Made a reversible quilt and the results were spectacular: Around the World arrangement with scraps of florals on one side and the back, square-in-a-square with batiks and hand dyes. Was challenging but worth it. First large quilt I've been able to make without making in several sections. Great technique! Highly recommend this book for a quilter who wants to try something different.

I have never made a quilt before but I used the 2-for-1 design to make 2 twin size quilts for my grandsons. I modified the front side w/ my own design & used the author's design for reverse side. It took me 8+ weeks to complete 2 beautiful quilts that totally impressed everyone. The book is well written w/ clear & easy instructions. I am already planning my 3rd quilt. The only fault I found w/ this book was the number of projects--I would've liked even more inspiration. I also bought this author's followup book -- More Reversible Quilts. I highly recommend these books.

This book is especially helpful if you would like to quilt your own projects but find the bulk of a quilt too much to handle.

The projects are fun. The pictures are great and the concept is easy.

I found the details well written and easy to understand if you have knowledge of rotary cutting and machine piecing. If the quilter has no knowledge I would suggest using scrap fabric and not their best craft fabric. The tips given are worth following no matter the quilters skill level. The projects could be cut down in size especially for a beginner.

I love this book! The author explains the instructions in a way that is easy to follow. The technique is fun and productive because a quilt can be completed fairly quick. I intend to use this book for many quilts.
