 One Block Wonders October 24, 2008
Fun concept in quilting - I would rate it "intermediate or higher" in difficulty, but with great results.

THis was an inspiring book that made me quite excited to try the method straight away. Good, clear instructions and great illustrative photos. Love it!

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 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.
