The Quilters Album of Patchwork Patterns
A beautifully presented work of Jinny Beyer , certainly worth the wait. Informative and instructional work of highest quality. A must have for the library of every true quilter. And if you are new to the art, the contents will certainly help you to a quilt of quality. It covers every type of quilt block and the grid to achieve the block or perhaps find a new block inspired by the information.
Jinny has again achieved the the best of the best among quilters.
Jinny does it again
What an absolute compedium of knowledge Jinny has amassed in this book. If you want to know the history of a block, this book will tell you. It is also a virtually endless source of block ideas, and a manual on how to decipher the drafting of any goven type of block, and how to draft the blocks yourself. And every single block shown in color, in real fabric. What a visual delight!
The new bible of patchwork patterns!
My copy of Jinny's new book just arrived and it is beyond my expectations. The images of every quilt block is just spectacular. The colors are wonderful and the information provided is perfect for those interested in the history of the over 4,000 quilt blocks included in this book. Worth every penny.
