Great Variety,
By Valerie Allard (Regina Beach, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quilt It!: Quilting Ideas and Inspiration for Patchwork and Applique (Paperback)
Even though I am a relatively new quilter I find that I have accumulated a number of quilt tops that get stalled because I cannot figure out how to quilt the finished product. Nothing in my imagination seemed to be good enough for the work that already went into the quilt top. This book opened my eyes as to what patterns work with what. I couldn't imagine putting curves on a fence rail! The book shows examples of the same background quilt top with a variety of quilting patterns applied to it. There are also pictures of actual quilts that the author "critiques" which is very helpful. I might be able to tell that I don't like the "finished" product but I cannot tell what I don't like about it. Her comments and instruction are all very useful.I would recommend this book to anyone that gets stuck on what type of quilting pattern to apply to your quilt top.

This review is from: Quilt It!: Quilting Ideas and Inspiration for Patchwork and Applique (Paperback)
When it comes to the quilting part of making a quilt I usually struggle to find designs that will make the quilt stand out. This book has been a tremendous help for me in this area. It is well worth the price.

Excellent Resource Guide,
By Jean Sword (Harrisonburg, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quilt It!: Quilting Ideas and Inspiration for Patchwork and Applique (Paperback)
As a faily new quilter, I had found little to help me plan quilting designs. Chainey's book has pages & pages of illustrations, showing several quilting designs for many traditional quilt blocks. Additionally, the text gives helpful principles in chosing designs. I'm feeling much bolder & more imaginative as I plan new quilt projects. This is an excellent resource book that I will use many, many times. Well worth the money.
