Fanciful Quilts to Paper Piece

This was my first book about paper-piecing and now I only want more! Such lovely projects are in this book. This is a book for all generations of quilters! I'm going to make the weddingsampler for the anniversery of my parents and I want to make the turtle wall-hanging for my hobbyroom :). And the cats.... they are just like mine :) So another project on my to-do list :) I can't wait to see more books of this designer!

I am so glad a friend pointed this book out to me. We have a grandson and I can't wait to get started on a quilt from this book for him.

I loved reading Fanciful quilts to paper piece. It's full of great quilts, good photo's showing how to do things and clear directions for the patterns themselves. The writer also showed different ways of using the blocks or sections of a pattern to make something else as well - not a common occurance and much appriciated! The pattern i tried first was the windmill block and it went together like a dream!

I purchased this book because of the dog quilt on the front cover. Between my daughter and I we have 5 dachshunds and I thought the quilt would be perfect for us. The entire book is awesome! I found several other quilts I want to make especially the play quilt for my twin grandsons. The instructions for paper piecing include some pointers I have never seen before and prove to be extremely helpful. I highly recommend this book, even if you are a beginner.

Fanciful Quilts is a wonderful paper piecing book. It has a touch of Holland with the windmills and tulips. The wedding quilt would be a beautiful present for that special bride and groom. For the special little boy who has to have a town for his little cars, this book shows you how to create such a town. Other quilts include a rose quilt, a wilderness quilt, a cat quilt, bear quilt, turtle quilt, and the cute cover quilt, the dog quilt. The book is beautifully photographed and also includes extra ideas for each project. Fanciful Quilts to Paper Piece is a lovely addition to any quilter book shelf. I highly recommend this book. I hope this is just the first of many books Wendy will write!
