Editorial Reviews

Review

Like most of you, when I look at a book, I look for value. Even if I love one quilt from it, I tend not to purchase it unless I can enjoy several projects. No worries with this one! It's packed with projects that I love. In fact, I want to make nearly every one of the 15 quilts/runners. Just like the earlier book, this one features a wide variety of big name designers like Linda Lum DeBono, Jane Davila, Jo Morton and more.

I'm usually drawn to contemporary looks and there are plenty here, including the cover project (first on my list) but my favorite is a beautifully traditional table runner by Joanna of Fig Tree Quilts, with simple houses and Oak Leaf applique. Might be time to redecorate my house in more traditional looks to make a place for this one! --connectingthreads.com

This book is the second in the series, showcasing 15 skinny quilts/table runners, each by a different designer. There is lots of variety here: simple piecing, applique, embellishments, and free-hand cutting. All are beautiful projects for many levels of expertise, from traditional to contemporary. Because the quilts are all "skinny" you can try your hand at many new-to-you techniques. --Stick Your Nose in a Book: Quilting Book Reviews by Jennifer Zoeterman

This book is jam packed with wonderful quilts to grace your walls or tables. They are all from various accomplished quilt designers. Eleanor did a fabulous job compiling the book and having each individual quilt designer submit some fabulous eye candy. Clear concise instructions will make piecing together any of these quilts a breeze. A must have for any quilter.

I particularly liked the design and discussion by a graphic designer. She brings a special discipline to organization and color selection that is unique and inspirational.
