CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great for Miniatures -
This is my favorite book of quilt patterns. I have made several miniature quilts for dollhouses. The 4" size of each pattern is really easy to adapt by adding borders and binding.

Quilt Blocks - 
Book OK and in as-described condition. Please with seller's shipping time. I rate this seller as a good one.
Wonderful Reference -
This book's strength is the WIDE variety of quilt blocks it shows. It's is very inspiring to page through. There are classic geometric pieced blocks as well as "picture" pieced blocks (a sewing machine, animals, holiday themes) and classic appliques as well as more whimsical appliques. There are many flowers and animals, as well as themed sections for the holidays, activities and sports, Bible stories, etc.
The weaknesses, in my opinion, are that the blocks are all 4", which is tiny for the complexity of some of them, although enlarging them wouldn't be difficult, and that the photos of the finished blocks don't seem terribly...inspired. The color choices are often blah. I look at them and think, did the person who put this together not have any sense of design?
If you want a book that has instructions and layouts to make entire quilts with large patterns (I'm thinking broken star type quilts), this will probably be a disappointment, as it only gives individual blocks meant to stand alone, but if you want to do a sampler type quilt or play around with styles of blocks, this would be excellent.
501 Quilt Blocks -
This is a great book that should be in every quilter's library. A long list of different blocks to make. Although does not have much information about the patchwork making, but if you already know a little bit about this art you will find it really helpfull... Enjoy!!!!

Good inspiration for patchwork blocks -
Although strip quilting is my favorite type of quilting, this book was inspiring enough that I did a quilt for a classroom and had each student picked out a favorite block. The instructions on how to make the block were good. Although I thought making pieced blocks would be too difficult, it was surprising to me how easy it was to make some really cute blocks. Pieced patchwork blocks may not be my favorite but I now consider them to be attractive and fun.
