I love the style, format and colors for the patterns in this book. I love that each block can be made in a 6" or 12" size. The patterns for using the made up blocks are ones I will actually make. I hate getting a book and not liking most of the patterns...this one is 100% LOVE... The spiral format is nice for being able to open to a page and leave it open. After going thru the book, I looked up the author on you tube, Love her simple ways without fancy sewing equipment. Using vintage irons, and graph paper for making new patterns. Great tutorial on making simple boards for your patchwork squares on the go, auditioning fabrics and keeping your pieces in order to bring to the sewing machine. I feel like I found a new cyber friend! I recommend this book and I am a city girl...who is country at heart.
