Review
I love the look of scrappy geometric quilts, yet as a new quilter I have a hard time creating that look with my relatively modest fabric stash. This is where precut fabric packs come in. Charm Packs and Layer Cakes (we call them Stacks here at Connecting Threads) are perfect for making quilts that look colorful and scrappy, and they are great time savers too! In Schnibbles Times Two, Carrie Nelson has included loads of fantastic quilt patterns that use these fun and time-saving precuts. Each pattern is shown using 10" squares and 5" squares. Not only does that make for two different size options, but it means that quilters get to see each pattern in two different color combinations--something that is always very helpful for me when choosing a project. I'm excited to get started with the Stacks and Charms I've collected in my stash--now I just have to decide on which pattern! --connectingthreads.com
Charm packs and layer cakes are the focus of this book . . . Carrie explains how they are best used, how many to buy, those pinked edges, and the warp. There are 12 patterns, each of them done in 5" squares and 10" squares. The book features lots of clever ideas for pretty and colorful quilts. I'm still not sold on these packs, but love the book. I think I'll cut my squares from my stash! --Stick Your Nose in a Book: Quilting Book Reviews by Jennifer Zoeterman

This review is from: Schnibbles Times Two: Quilts from 5" or 10" Squares (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)
Most quilting books in my collection have a few or even several patterns that I want to make. I just got this book and I love every single design in the book. The one thing I would add to the other reviews is that these are not quilts that can be made with one layer cake or one charm pack. All of them require at least 65 squares, so they will require two layer cakes (and will have squares left over). If you are looking for a book that has designs that can be made from one layer cake or charm pack, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for beautiful, creative patterns and don't mind using one and a half layer cakes -- leaving some layers for other projects -- then this is a wonderful book. I am looking forward to all the projects.

This is a great book!,

This review is from: Schnibbles Times Two: Quilts from 5" or 10" Squares (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)
I picked up this book because of the title. (What the heck is a schnibble?) I am so glad that I did!
I began reading the introduction to Carrie Nelson's book, "Schnibbles Times Two; Quilts from 5" or 10" Squares" in an attempt to discover what a schnibble was. I ended up reading not only the introduction but all of the How To section even before I looked at the photos of the quilts. (As an experienced quilter I generally glance at the How To information to look for any new or unique techniques, but I never read it through completely, let alone before I look at the quilt photos.) Carrie Nelson has a wonderful writing voice. She is informative and funny. It was fun to read as an experienced quilter, and for a beginning quilter her writing style makes the information easy to understand and not in the least scary. The basic premise of the quilts in this book is using pre-cut fabric packs to create beautiful quilts in two different sizes, a lap top version and a smaller version. Unlike many quilt patterns where you are given the directions for a quilt and then the cutting requirements for that quilt in a variety of sizes, Ms. Nelson has provided complete cutting, piecing and finishing directions for each quilt at each size. For a beginning quilter that could make all the difference between being successful and being extremely frustrated. I have never been a big fan of charm packs, but as a scrap quilter these quilts are wonderful. I love the "X-Rated" cover quilt, "Little Red" and "McGuffey", as well as the stories that go along with them. For those rare times I do use charm packs I also appreciated that included in the How To section of the book was information on dealing with the pinked edges of the fabric in the pack. This is a wonderful book, and well worth the cost. Weather you are using charm packs or gathering your own fabric, these quilts are captivating and fun! Karin Renaud Author "Quilts from the Heart"

This review is from: Schnibbles Times Two: Quilts from 5" or 10" Squares (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)
This is a great book with lots of inspirational quilts and lovely commentary
I particularly like that you are given the two options (layer cake or charm packs) and that there are two pictures of quilts in the different sizes and with different colour ways The commentary is funny and engaging A good read and inspirational
