It's great for beginners, and has a few tips I did not know.
Nice patterns,and interseting lessons on how a pattern for a simple block can change it's character with color reversal... the patterns come in an envelope and are clearly marked, on nice teflon type plastic,and are easy to scan into a printer if you wish to increase the sizes...If you are a novice, this book is like a mini first primer on quilting,and I recommend it.It's basic,but dang it, it has sophisticated ideas regarding color reversing that I would not have thought of on my own... and has artistry tossed in if you read between the lines.
this is the second book I would recommend for very interested students on the subject of quilting,it is primary,yet has alot of flexibiltiy with the proposed designs for a more advanced approach...Paula Nadelstern is one great quilter,this book delivers.I will guarantee you will be pleased with it when you decide to order it.

Just got this book four days ago and can hardly wait to start making puzzle quilts. This book really turned my mind around and pointed my brain in a whole new direction. The patterns are totally simple and clear. The concept is startling. EX: Block #1A is solid triangles. Block#1B is also solid triangles but totally different in appearance due to the use of Light, Medium, and Dark colors. Nothing complicated except the results. This book has changed the way I think.

I wouldn't recommend this for true beginners. As you might be able to guess from the sample pages, the "instruction" section of the book is given the short shrift. My favorite thing about this one though is the plastic templates. They make things SOOOO much easier, and are marked for both hand and machine piecing. The focus of this one is on color, and not on pattern design, so this is best for those who are already comfortable with the basics and want to move on to the finer points. There is a neat "coloring book" kind of feature,as well, so you can see what your designs will look like. For Beginner to Intermediate quilters, I really recommend "Complete Idiot's Guide to Quilting" by Laura Erlich, which is FABULOUS, to accompany this one.
