Quilting Patterns: 110 Full-Size Ready-To-Use Designs and Complete Instructions

This quilting book has good instructions, pages of traceable quilting patterns that cover a wide area of quilts. Wonderful book for quilting.

Linda Macho has created a definitive book on Quilting Patterns, and was first published in 1984. Little did Linda or Dover Publications realise that these patterns would be used for so much more than Hand Quilting. In 2009, these patterns can be used not only for hand quilting, but for applique (hand or machine), and especially for machine quilting which is so popular these days. Linda takes the time to explain how to use the patterns, including marking your quilt, use of frames, assembling the quilt sandwich and impressively, how to hand quilt. Her illustrations are very easy to follow and well created. Linda talks about how to select quilting patterns to fit specific spaces, which is often a stumbling block for new quilters. Then there is the vast array of ready to use patterns, all printed on heavy stock, which could be used to create combined patterns or just stand alone creations. This is a great sourcebook and I thoroughly recommend it for every quilters library.

This is a wonderful book for anyone who quilts. There are many designs broken up into sections. Each section has a variety of sizes for different size blocks. The alternating of every other page will allow for easier tracing or coping for use. A creative expression in designs makes this an excellent easy to use book with designs for the veteran quilter or those just getting started.

Usefull book. Plenty of nice patterns. No text. Many may wish to copy them out of the book to larger formats. Very pleased.

Do you Quilt? Then this is a quilt design resource for you. From hand to machine these designs and the number of designs is a MUST for a Quilters library.

I really like this book. This book is full of quilting and filling patterns. It is good for creative ideas. This book was exactly what I was expecting. I am glad that I bought this book. It is for beginners and experts alike.
