The photos and instructions in this book are amazing. Im looking forward to learning new skills by the time I finish the entire quilt. Its a great way to challenge myself. Love it!!

I’m making this quilt as a BOM at my local shop. I like the intricate look of tiny blocks so I was drawn to the format of this project - each block made small, smaller, and smallest. That’s the good part - it’s a sweet looking quilt. However, I don’t like many of the construction methods. For example, one of the first blocks had us make flying geese using the flip corner method and then sew those units end to end. That meant sewing through 6 layers of fabric at the end of the seam. We pressed that seam open, but it still left a sizable bump. Second, the sizes given in the text for the blocks, and the units that make up each block (flying geese, half square triangles, etc.) are unfinished while the block illustrations are finished. I wish the author had simply stated “unfinished” after the measurement. I’ve trimmed things to the wrong size more than once because my subconscious mind sees the finished size illustration and thinks the instructions are finished size as well. I’m reminded when I’m 3/4 of the way assembling the block and the pieces don’t fit together. I’ll finish the project and it will be fine, but I doubt I’ll buy anything else from this author.

Love having the book !!!

Summer Moon- I’ve found the instructions to be clear and simple, and am making not one but two of these quilts as it works well in different seasonal fabrics. I’m also excited about putting together a mini quilt using only some of the 5” blocks. So versatile. Once again Carrie Nelson and It’s Sew Emma have produced a great set of patterns. Thanks!

Can’t wait to try these blocks.

I am currently working on this as a challenge quilt with a group of women from our Fresno CA retreat. The instructions are easy and photos have been included. Lots of points and SCANT seams are the ticket. It will be a wonderful quilt.

This is a beautiful and extremely useful book for quilters. Collectively, the patterns in the book provide a beautiful design for a sampler quilt. But, each block could stand alone as the focus of an individual quilt. The author was thoughtful enough to include fabric suggestions for a traditional quilt as well as a modern quilt. She also provides directions to create each block in three different sizes. Any quilter could benefit from adding this book to her library. Highly recommended.

Really like the instructions and is a nice book

Easy to follow. Lots of variety.

The book was as it was described and will be used as a guide in a project which has begun.
