This book is based on the concept of cutting a standard template of blocks from fat quarters (20x22) and then designing quilts from the resulting pieces. Sounds great, but the quilts in the book are not made according to this method. In all but two cases, the quilts cannot be made from the pieces the directions would have you cut. The quilt designers "supplemented" their pieces, sometimes doubling or more the number of a given patch. So, while the quilts are pretty and the concept interesting, the quilts cannot be made according to the fundamental method the book teaches. A big disappointment.

I bought this on the recommendation of a friend. I already have more quilting instruction books that I need or can ever use, but I bought this anyway. I am glad I did! It is well written, easy to understand, and has challenged me to choose fabrics and colors in a different way. It has endless possibilities for fast quilts that don't "look" fast.

At 120 pages, this book gives much more detail that many quilt books. The recurring "quilt gallery" displays different approaches to a pattern. This is a real plus, since it is hard to visualize the effects of change in colour or print. The section on block patterns is helpful. Some quilters buy the Block Tool, a compact guide that fans out and displays 100 different patterns. This tells the piece size for each segment of a block.
Quilt projects included tend to favor more modern patterns and colors, although some traditional projects are included.

I do love this book, but I'm a little sad that it says a fat quarter is 20 x 22 which is not right they are 18 x 22, but to me it doesn't matter much since I jsut use scraps of fabrics, but you can always just not cut out all the pieces if you have fat quarters. I do love the book though, made several quilts already

This book is amazing! Great use of fat quarters, easy to follow instructions, and very good diagrams. The design possibilities of the fat quarter cutting plan are endless, no two quilts will be alike.
