Editorial Reviews

These ten quilts have blocks set against a plain background. Many quilts can be made in varying sizes from cot to king size. One quilt has foundation pieced blocks. The cutting charts can take up to 2 pages. After cutting, each piece must labeled as they are only referred to as 'N square' or 'Y triangle.' Some pieces have to be cut at 45° and 60° angles with a ruler. The assembly instructions and diagrams are very clear but need careful reading. These are complex designs requiring great accuracy. It is a patchwork book only, there are no references to quilting.
