I am amazed at how Martha Thompson can teach you to take simple squares and turn them into these incredible quilts! And it is SO EASY! My entire quilt guild was enchanted by the wallhanging I made IN ONE EVENING! This book is the favorite of my collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Quilting Book!, June 28, 2003

By	"skpaulsen" (Fremont, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Square Dance: Fancy Quilts from Plain Squares (Paperback)

This book is incredible! You can make really cool quilt projects using straight seams. If you can sew a straight line you can make these pinwheel quilts. It is practically goof-proof! Directions and instructions are clear and easy to read. Your only limitation is your imagination. It is hard to find since it is out of print, but once you get it you will love it. Even beginning quilters can do these projects!

4.0 out of 5 stars square dance, August 21, 2001

This review is from: Square Dance: Fancy Quilts from Plain Squares (Paperback)

I teach quilting classes for Irvine Valley Community College and found this book for my new fall semester class. I ordered 7 books today and some students are ordering their copies from Amazon. It is a fun project and even beginners can make it. We were able to find a templet to help with the cutting. I recommend this for a fun class.
