This book literally draws the projects in pictures leaving no doubts on assembling the projects. There is a nice variety of projects including quilts, tablerunners, pillows, tablecloth, wallhanging, throw, and even a childrens quilt. I've been quilting for thirty years and this book even inspires me to try some new colors and designs I haven't seen elsewhere. There are a few challenging projects, but the instructions are clear and easy to understand. I have quite a collection of quilt books. My best description of this book is that the use of color and design are unique and inspire you to create the quilts or projects. This book also includes a very helpful general instruction page located in the last pages of the book.

I was very pleased with "Quilts for My Sister's House". It has a wide variety of projects, both skill-wise and size-wise. I can't wait to make up some. It was definitely a typical "Thimbleberry" publication--and one of their better ones at that.
