Around the Block with Judy Hopkins: 200 Rotary-Cut Blocks in 6 Sizes

I have just started quilting this year. I love traditional blocks but the blocks I find in my favorite books are usually the wrong size from what I want. I checked out a book from my library on "drafting" my own blocks but I just can't do it.Well, I just got this book from my library and I will own it shortly because this is one of the best quilt block books I have ever seen and I can have the blocks any size I want without the mind boggling drafting.I will own the next book and the next book and the next book..... this Judy Hopkins puts out.I could not ask for more.I am a very happy quilter!!! :)

Around the Block is one of the first reference books I bought when I began quilting four years ago. I have found it to be percise and accurate with its easy to follow directions. The book takes all the guess work out of dimentions as it offers instruction for several finished block sizes. My copy is dog eared and my most favorite reference book. Thank you Judy Hopkins!

I think this book is particularly useful for people who like to make sampler quilts. Rotary-cutting directions for all 200 blocks are listed in 4-5 different sizes. I'm using the patterns now to make a row-by-row quilt in which the blocks contained in each row are a different size. I highly recommend this book!

The most wonderful thing about this book is that it offers instructions to do the many blocks in several different sizes. No math involved! Lots of variety and good photos. Definately a must for piece lovers.!
