5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, gorgeous quilts, June 9, 2006

By	MaraMiami "booknut" (miami, florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This is a highly readable, beautifully printed book about how to make a knockout "French Braid" quilt. The quilt can be long or short, wide or narrow. The quilt takes its character from the strong diagonals and from the imaginative choice of fabrics. It's a Wow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book, but ..., May 12, 2007

By	Fairy Fingers (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

I have made one quilt (Big Red)from this book and will probably make more. The quilts are beautiful and the photos are excellent, which was fortunate because I found the instructions very difficult to follow. You are constantly being referred to other pages and it's difficult to determine where the instructions for "your" quilt end and the next one begins. I also think they made a mountain out of a molehill because many of the instructions seemed unnecessary. I ignored many of them and did what made sense to me, with the help of the excellent photography. Having said that I would like to add that the quilt went together beautifully. It truly is not difficult once you figure out what is going on. I gave it 4 stars because, to me, it was worth the aggravation and I am extremely happy with the quilt.

This is a really awesome book that offers so many options for customizing a very simple cutting and assembly technique. Whether you are a traditional quilter or want something more unusual, this technique has endless possiblities- I am on my third full size quilt.Using the simple chart at the back, you can purchase and assemble your materials to make your project any size you wish, from wall hanging to bed size. This will satisfy the qulter who wants a fast result with great style and almost endless variety.
