Good content

I love Kindle Unlimited because I get a chance to preview books before buying. This book had really helpful content and information I could use. A beginner might find some of the info a little scary but it really is easy with the authors step by step instructions.

Skill building

This has patterns that are applied to a few projects each. I think the main goal of the book is to improve the way you look at patterns and some of the different ways they can be used.

Lots of great sewing inspiration in this for quilting as well as smaller projects - lots of fun techniques to try.

Checked out from my library and glad I didn’t buy it. Well written and decent diagrams, but the projects aren’t very interesting or things I would likely make.
