Wrong measurements for one of the patterns,
By A Customer
This review is from: Freddy's House: Brilliant color in Quilts (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from a friend and just loved it, so now am going to order one, to keep. I was so inspired! I could not wait to go and find just the right material to make a block. When I was cutting it today, I found that the measurements were not accurate. Being somewhat of a new quilter, I was able to sort it out, but am wondering was it me? I still recommend this book. Freddy is so creative and I loved it. The house block that I made was on page 61. Four pcs. had to be cut again, as I could not make them fit with the rest of the house.

Inspiring Color Use, Less than Inspiring Design,
By Tracy J. Gorenflo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Freddy's House: Brilliant color in Quilts (Paperback)
Being a creative quilter who shys away from traditional colors and patterns, I was drawn to Freddy's book. Her use of color is bold and brave, but her color theory and design skills leave a bit too be desired. The book isn't intended to be a how-to book, but rather an inspiration to quilters and that is it's success. If you are a quilter trying to break out of your calico mold then this is the book for you. If how-to books are what you seek then you might want to look elsewhere.

Freddys House,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Freddy's House: Brilliant color in Quilts (Paperback)
The book was a disappointment. I was expecting lots of patterns and information, which was very little, 4 projects only. It really is a book about her house and reaction to it, how she has found herself etc. It is very colorful, beautiful paper and I think it was very unusual, which alot of people will love, it might make a great coffee table book, but for someone who was expecting more quilting information, for the price of a years subscribtion to the best quilting magazine, I was a little disappointed.

Love the COLORS! Where's the patterns?,
By "spowers58" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Freddy's House: Brilliant color in Quilts (Paperback)
I was drawn to the bold and daring use of colors that Freddy uses in all her quilts. It was fun to see how she organized and freely uses color in her home decorating. But I was disappointed when I discovered only four patterns and they weren't very user friendly. Lot's of the other interesting quilts that were featured had no patterns to go along with them. However it did inspire me to begin collecting wild, exciting prints and black and white fabric. Thanks Freddy for sharing your House!
