I think this is a great book. I am a real get-it-done-quickly quilter as I don't have the amount of spare time I would like to make quilts, so this book is excellent for me. Very good for beginners but also great ideas for experienced quilters. Clear instructions take the brain-work out of construction. I have one other of her books and am keen to increase my library with more that she has edited. AAA+++

This is an exceptional quilting book because it features a number of beautiful quilts, AND the directions for the quilts are easy to understand and follow. Instructions are clear enough that even a beginner could tackle most projects, and the beautiful photographs make you want to! Great book.

I found this book very disappointing. Nowhere in the description does it state that a large number of the designs are ethnic-inspired (Asian and American-Indian). The designs are easy to understand if this is what you are looking for, but the description of the book implied that the designs are more traditional and this is not the case. All of the patterns are simple - too simple. There is nothing to them. And the color schemes chosen are not attractive. If this were the only quilting book I owned, I would probably not be quilting for long!
