Hop to It! Appliqu?d Blocks & Projects

This is a great book for medium experienced applique ability if you use needle-turn applique. She has instructions for fusible applique too, so early/new appliquers will love it. I have met Edyta, and she is a very special person with a lot of talent.

Neat designs. The layouts need to be enlarged 150%. It is difficult to determine finished size of some of the blocks -it is not clearly stated. But the patterns are beautiful. There are some projects that combine applique and piecing.

HOP TO IT! APPLIQUED BLOCKS & PROJECTS offers twelve blocks and easy applique technique projects to accompany them, with full-page patterns and color facing photos accompanying each easy appliqued album quilt and 8 projects. The step-by-step techniques are accompanied by a color and fabric selection guide in this stunning survey.

This is a wonderful and informative book if you love applique. All of the pieces are full size and very easy to make templates. Edyta has alot of great tips on how to pick out a wide variety of colors and textures to make your applique project just pop!

I have an extensive collection of quilt books and I was so excited when I got this one in the mail. I stopped what I was doing and sat down to "read" it. It has lots of great tips in it and the illustrations are remarkable. Edyta's step by step photo's will make it easy for both the new and old quilters. The wall hangings and table runners will be my first try and then onto the quilt. The color samples and her rule of five theory was great. I have seen her as an instructor and enjoyed her presentation, this book is just another great extension of her gift of quilting. I highly recommend it.
