 A reinvention of quilting altogether! July 11, 2008
Once I picked up this book in a fabric shop and leafed through it, I could not get the idea out of my head. So I HAD to buy the book!Rosenthal makes her special brand of kaleidoscopic quilting look very simple. With clear guidelines and stunning pictures of completed quilts for inspiration, you'll be ready to start!
Presently I am searching for a good fabric to use for this project--be warned that not every fabric can work. The selection of colors and prints is key.
The only thing that annoyed me about this book is that some instructions are left out, most notably the formation of a hollow block cube. However, I understand that the sequel (One-Block Wonders Encore) includes these directions.
I'd recommend this type of quilting to people who like to play with colors and patterns. It's very untraditional, so I can understand why it's not for everyone. As for me, I'm inspired! I'll never see fabric the same way again!

I Finishd 2 Quilts In A Week May 11, 2008
I love this type of quilt, and this method is just fun to do. If you have a lot of large print material, this is a great way to make a great quilt. The instructions were very good, just learn to keep all your little pieces together.
The quilt you make will truly be a wonder! May 11, 2008

It's all in the fabric you choose! The author gives helpful guidelines to follow in picking out your fabric for the most stunning results. Read all the instructions first because even washing your fabric can affect cutting it. Lining up the fabric for cutting is the most specific step and I read the instructions over several times to make sure I did it correctly. After that, it is a simple process and produces amazing and beautiful quilts. Even though you use the same process and even the same fabric, your quilt will never look like anyone else's. Such fun, especially designing with the blocks. And, yes, it is a little like the Stack and Whack process, but the layout is different. My advice is to keep a small amount of the original fabric because nobody will believe the resulting quilt came from that one fabric. Can't wait until the second book comes out in June 2008.
Great quilt book April 29, 2008
