As a relatively new quilter, I was looking for a quilt that would challenge me and keep me busy between other projects. Sylvia's Bridal Sampler definitely fits the bill. I've made one square, and the directions were extremely easy to follow. I'm sure this quilt with its 142 squares will challenge me, teach me and entertain me over the coming months. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Sylvia's Bridal Sampler from Elm Creek Quilts: The True Story Behind the Quilt - 140 Traditional Blocks (Paperback)

This book was certainly worth the wait as it is more than beauiful from cover to cover. I just got mine in the mail and could hardly wait to carry it back to my little retreat to enjoy. How I would love to say that I had created and personally made this entire quilt...and all by hand, never-the-less! It is a dream quilt in a book so expertly put together, a quilt I have often wondered what it would look like and how Sylvia would react to the creation made out of love my her quilter friends....after reading the books by Jennifer Chiaverini, and just letting my imagination get carried away with me. Tis so nice to still be able to dream and find dreams do come true...at least in the books created by Jennifer. Sure hope here story telling and quilting days are not over. I hunger for the next book to come off the press, and yes, have devoured the book "The Lost Quilter".

The author visited my hometown and I was able to get this book autographed by her. Jennifer brought the completed quilt to the
book signing, too. It is soooo beautiful and I can't wait to make
my own. The book has complete instructions and will be amoung
my other treasured books by the same author, Jennifer Chiaverini.
