I haven't yet made a quilt from this book but I am impressed witht the diagrams and written instructions. I agree with previous review- 2 color fabrics are easier to choose if you're a beginner. My daughter has selected a pattern and I hope to get started very soon. Enjoy.
 Nicely laid out. November 13, 2002

This book is about two coloured quilts. The author shows us blue and white quilts as well as red and white quilts. The instructions are very clear and the diagrams are easy to follow. It is a good example of how just two colours can make such a colourful quilt. A treasure for any quilter's library.

If you're just starting out in quilting, by all mean buy this book. Firstly, you cut down the hassle of colors, patterns / designs in the calicos. Because Ms. Martin involves values of the red and/or blues, these quilts could be made up in flannels. Secondly you have a multiple of blocks / patterns from which to choose. And, as always, the instructions are clear and to the point. If your quilting skills are a little better than those of a novice, and you have some skills in quilting (i.e., changing block sizes), and a modicum of imagination, you'd be much better off in buying Ms. Martin's PERPETUAL CALENDAR.
