Ms Hickey has some really interesting ideas of how to showcase novelty fabrics in a baby, or even wall, quilt that are striking
and very pretty. Her directions are good & there are an arrangement of difficult to very easy quilts listed.
The only flaw to the book would be a good source of where or what these novelties are called and could be found. But I guess you could use it just as a starting place and not as an exact duplicate. Really recommended.

Ms. Hickey has included designs in this book that are very simple and quick to make but produce fabulous quilts for anyone of any age. It all depends on the fabric you choose to work with. Bottom line: Mary's designs make great quilts for babies and kids but with a change in fabric, they also become great gift quilts: stunning to look at but quick to make.

The title of this book is exactly what you'll find inside. Mary Hickey gives concise clear directions with patterns that could be transformed into a lot of different quilts from baby to adult. She has helpful hints scattered through the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves quilting, from beginner to expert.

I purchased this book last fall after seeing it in our local quilt shop. I love it. The patterns are cute and the instructions are well written and the diagrams are great. I think I am going to end up making every quilt in the book. You don't have to be an advanced quilter to make these quilts. I can't wait for her next book, I have already pre-ordered it.

This is a great book for beginner or advanced. She teaches you little shortcuts for piecing and quilts go together quickly. I have 3 kids under 4 and I can get a quilt done in a week! (this is working full time as well). So if you're looking for an easy or quick project, there are plenty of great designs to choose from. Mary chose nice color pallets, but the designs are simple enough to change them y to your own tastes. Her instructions are easy as well. Happy sewing!

The book was like new and the information was excellent.
