4.0 out of 5 stars Bundles of Fun is right, February 18, 2008

By	Lia Mahony (Tamworth, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I do not believe this book breaks any new ground.

The patterns are cute, the instructions clear and the photos are delightful.
If you own other fat quarter books, then this one will probably rehash information you already know.


If on the other hand you are a novice quilter, still learning how many cuts you can get from a piece of fabric, then this book will be a great addition to your library.

The overall design and appearance of this book certainly make it a cut above other fat quarter books I have seen.

This is an outstanding book. Easy enough for a beginner or fun enough for an intermediate or advanced sewer. This will be one of the books that I use lots and lots.
