4.0 out of 5 stars Breaking traditions cathedral windows quick method quilt, June 12, 2000

By	School Librarian (Des Plaines, Il USA) - See all my reviews

This is an interesting twist on a time-honored quilt pattern. Although I have always liked the cathedral windows pattern, I have always resisted making one due to the tremendous amount of hand sewing. This book allows you to create a beautiful quilt using machine techniques. The instructions are brief, to-the-point and clear. The illustrations appear to be hand-drawn, but they serve to explain the process and do not detract from the text. The net result is a beautiful old-style quilt streamlined for those of us who do not have the time to create it all by hand. My next full-sized project will be a cathedral window quilt.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quick & Easy Instruction Sheet, December 11, 2002

By	G. W. Coleman "IT Specialist" (forestville, maryland USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is not a book. It is 12 pages of instructions with hand drawn illustrations of the block units. If all you want are instructions on "How to" make a traditional Cathedral Window block, then this over priced (my personal opinion) booklet is for you. I feel the price is too high for 12 pages. However, the information is very easy to follow. I do like that each page of instruction is self-contained. By that I mean, each page covers one step or two. There is a page on how to finish off the quilt edge. There is a page on measurement and calculating foundation fabric yardage (this is very useful). And there is a chart on the last page that you can copy to plan the color layout of your units.

There are no color pictures of any finished projects. There is credit mention for the two quilts on the front cover...

1.0 out of 5 stars Got to be kidding, May 8, 2004

By	Jacqueline Rund (Asbury Park, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

The price of this book is about 8 times what it is worth. First of all, it is not a "paperback"; it is a "pamphlet". There is no firm cover or back. I feel taken advantage of when I order a book expecting a book and get a pamphlet. Some pages held together and called a "paperback"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
