5.0 out of 5 stars Warp up and learn at the same time, August 25, 2008

By	Barbara Rhoades "Jackie of all Trades" (O'Fallon, MO USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I am always looking for ways to teach my grandchildren and at the same time give them something they will treasures. This book is just the thing to do that.

You make a quilt but at the same time teach the child to count, learn their colors, teach them table manners and learn about textures and shapes. The book begins with a 7 page section on preparation for the projects and contains such things as gathering supplies and selecting fabrics.

The projects themselves have a photo of the finished item and a paragraph about the quilt. Finished block and quilt size are also provided. A materials and cutting list is clearly written as is the instructions for making the blocks and putting it all together. Lots of graphics help make sure you understand the writing directions.

Templates are provided at full size and there are tips to be found throughout the book in bright green boxes. A 4 page sections gives you tips on finishing the quilt including label suggestions. A Gallery of quilts and a 2 paragraph bio of the author make up the last pages.

If you have a little one who needs to wrap up in grandma's love and learn at the same time, this is the book to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making learning fun, April 29, 2009

By	G. Bong (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a great idea this designer has - to make a quilt educational! It's never too soon to learn and adding color, numbers, words or texture to a quilt is a nice quiet way to learn. I am sure the tots are going to love these quilts.
