The 40+ projects in this collection are all designed around the popular nine-patch block, and full patterns, drawings, and complete step-by-step instructions are provided. The book presents a wide variety of ways to construct the nine-patch with styles that are contemporary, traditional, and modern and are perfect for the confident beginner as well as the advanced quilter. Varied in size and customizable to any color palette, the finished projects include wall, lap, and bed quilts, and even table toppers. Anyone who loves working with fabric and giving homemade gifts will find these designs enticing and irresistible.
Pretty photos of quilts made with fabric available in stores today (2012). Lots of clear step-by-step color illustrations of how to piece the quilts. I was hoping for more advanced projects or twists on old favorites, so I found nothing new here. A good book for a new quilter who has successfully mastered the basics.
