Fast Quilts from Fat Quarters

I bought this on the recommendation of a friend. I already have more quilting instruction books that I need or can ever use, but I bought this anyway. I am glad I did! It is well written, easy to understand, and has challenged me to choose fabrics and colors in a different way. It has endless possibilities for fast quilts that don't "look" fast.

At 120 pages, this book gives much more detail that many quilt books. The recurring "quilt gallery" displays different approaches to a pattern. This is a real plus, since it is hard to visualize the effects of change in color or print. The section on block patterns is helpful. Some quilters buy the Block Tool, a compact guide that fans out and displays 100 different patterns. This tells the piece size for each segment of a block. Quilt projects included tend to favor more modern patterns and colors, although some traditional projects are included.

This book is amazing! Great use of fat quarters, easy to follow instructions, and very good diagrams. The design possibilities of the fat quarter cutting plan are endless, no two quilts will be alike.

They can never be made fast enough. The book is very helpful with some great ideas. Fat Quarters or scraps.

My, oh, my. I had no clue how wonderful this book was when I ordered it. My 14 year old granddaughter picked up the book last week and shared how many she wanted to make out of this one. It's sew easy instructions and the speed in which you can complete any of these quilts makes it a book that I'm sure to use over and over again. Can't wait to find time to get one or more done.
