I prefer Carol Doak’s paper piecing method. This author wasn’t very good at explaining. Her designs were okay but far too complicated and none of the animals were any I cared to stitch. Plus she showed computer generated results instead of actual stitched blocks on many. (The background designs all miraculously stayed straight as if the design were appliquéd instead of paper pieced, which creates many seams.)

Paper piecing quilts of a variety of animals, etc.

Could be 5 stars - but I didn't try any of the patterns, so I can't rate the directions.

Helder geschreven patronen boek. Grootste deel wil ik ook echt maken, en dat gebeurt me niet vaak. Er staan ook een paar patronen die er een kinderachtig / onecht uitzien. Overgrote deel is echt prachtig en inspirerend.
Ook geschikt voor beginners icm een you tube filmpje over foundation paper piecing. Mooie aanwinst als je van quiltboeken houdt!
