 Quilting with Pizzazz! November 24, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am new to quilting, and wanted a book that would help me make my first full sized quilt. There is nothing like seeing a beautiful quilt you've just successfully completed to motivate you further! This book fits the bill exactly.
The author's quilts are really beautiful,yet very fast and easy to run up on the machine. The quick technique for making 9-patch is really excellent, with the option of rail-fence pieces for even speedier stitching. The instructions are clear and well illustrated, and guidelines are included if you want to make a different size. The finished quilt has a very "landscaped" look, which I love. However, the technique can be adapted to almost any look you want.
This book is an excellent purchase for a beginner. I'll be making a few more of these before I move on to something more complex.

 Is this really quilting? June 29, 2007

It's a book about using large-scale fabrics and nine-patch blocks placed here-and-there to give some sort of effect. Sorry, but I just don't think this is quilting. Just sloppily putting together fabrics. It's easy to finish these projects in a day because there are not many pieces. The nine-patch blocks are thrown all over the place. It's like either making a cake with a box of Duncan Hines cake mix and canned frosting or making a cake from scratch with home-made frosting that takes time, care, and lots of love. That's true with quilting too. A quilt should be made with time, care and lots of love, not something thrown together like the patterns in this book.

I debated a long time before buying. Then someone told me about seeing a quilt made using the book and she was really impressed. The concepts are basic, the detail of the information and the explanations of best fabric use, colors, etc., are invaluable. It truly makes it possible to make a gorgeous quilt in a limited amount of time--and one to be proud of. And eases your mind about buying those gorgeous large-patterned fabrics. A very good book and well worth having in the library.
