One Block Wonder Encore,

This review is from: One-Block Wonders Encore!: New Shapes, Multiple Fabrics, Out-of-this-World Quilts (Paperback)
This is a great book. Very good instructions on making the hollow cubes, and so many great ideas for layouts. Out of the 3 books, I think this one is the best!

Awesome book,
This review is from: One-Block Wonders Encore!: New Shapes, Multiple Fabrics, Out-of-this-World Quilts (Paperback)
As soon as I got the book I went out and bought fabric to make a quilt. The instructions were easy to follow but I must admit I was a little nervous making that first cut. The pictures of quilts in the book were inspiring. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to make a one of a kind quilt. Unlike the technique of making a kaleidoscope quilt, with this technique very little fabric is wasted. I can hardly wait to see my finished result!

A repeat of the same, with a little extra,

Great book, but if you already own the first book of one-block wonders there's not a lot more information. If you were to buy just one then this is the one to get.

Dribbles information, book by book,
By Weatherman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: One-Block Wonders Encore!: New Shapes, Multiple Fabrics, Out-of-this-World Quilts (Paperback)
OK, so I bought the first book, One Block Wonders and was awestruck! The colors and designs were so intriguing and beautiful and I ran out, bought fabric and made several quilt tops. (Caution beginners: There are no instructions for how to add a border, bind, etc. The book just states, "Quilt and bind."). At the time I was a bit annoyed that the book showed cubes in the quilts but did not have the instructions, as I felt it was a bit dishonest, but I was willing to "forgive." Well, loe and behold, some months later, another book appeared: the ENCORE! book. Overally, I don't find the quilts in this book as beautiful or interesting as the first (color- or design-wise) but at least the instructions for cubes are included...but not for ALL the cubes shown in the book. Now I see that the authors have yet another book coming out in the SPring and there, on the cover, is the "missing" cube that she didn't give instructions for in ENCORE!. I won't buy this book (I actually figured out how to construct the missing cube myself) and I'm getting more and more annoyed at her tactics. Bascially, all of this information could have been included in a single book instead of making folks buy 3 of them, with so much redundant information in each. I would offer this advice: look at the designs in the first book for inspiration, and buy the second one (or wait until the spring and buy the third). Once you get the hang of it, you can make up your own patterns using the basic hexagon design.
