For the quilter wondering how to set your stack of blocks, here is the answer in 80 different ways. Ms Hanson covers side by side settings, simple sashing, sashing and setting and many more. She also suggests which block patterns are best for each type of setting. And best of all is her Special Considerations chapter where you learn how to deal with blocks that aren't quite the same size and how to set an unusal number of blocks. She ends this great resource with a Set Design Work Sheet and Inventory which makes it a snap to determine how much material you will need to finish your project and a "Quick Reference Charts" page that simplifies many of the "common calculations you will need when designing your own masterpiece."

I have many books on the subject - this one would be at the bottom of my list - would be ok for a beginning quilter.

This soft cover quilt book NEVER gets put away. It is on stand by for all my large quilt projects. Want to put a quilt on point and not sure what size of triangle is needed? This book has it all. From small projects to large ones, this is a must. I have shared it around the office & several co-workers fell in love with it also & ordered it. Even for standard quilt designs, this book is loaded with ideas on color selections to make your quilts really POP as I call it. Best quilt book ever written as far as I am concerned.
