This review is from: Marie Webster's Garden of Quilts (Paperback)
Each pattern in this book is accompanied with a page that describes how that particular quilt is special. Some of the patterns look complicated but the author breaks down the designs and simplifies them. Most of the designs, if not all, consist of 2-3 blocks that when put together make a beautiful design. The Morning Glory pattern is one example of this; it consists of 3 blocks but gives the appearance of a whole cloth design. You will also find patterns such as: wreath of roses, dutch basket, wind blown tulip, cherokee rose and many other beautiful designs. The beginning of this book is dedicated to the history of Marie Webster, the original creator of these wonderful designs. This book, I think, would be a challenge for someone who has never done applique work before. All of the pictures are in color and each quilt has a close-up of the design. Full size applique pieces make getting started easier.

This review is from: Marie Webster's Garden of Quilts (Paperback)
This is a lovely historical book that offers present day quilters the designs of a master. If you are ready to recreate a master piece that reflects early 20th century quilting this is a must have book.
