Absolutely FAB!! November 11, 2007

Unfortunately I missed out on a live workshop with Ruth and sent my best buddy in my place instead. She LOVED it!!! Even though I tried to practice her techniques in her other books, I never quite 'got it'. I guess I'm just more of a 'show me what you do' kind of person.
This book changed all that and I made her sugar maple quilt quickly and easily and I'm thrilled with the outcome! Also, with her guidance on inset seams, I finished a difficult navajo quilt that had had me stumped because I couldn't get the seams set in just right. But with her latest book, it was like having this amazingly talented and wonderful lady right there with me! She is such inspiration, her quilts are outstanding and absolutely fabulous! Thanks Ruth, -can't wait for the next one!!!

As with all of Ruth McDowell's books, she is very detailed and comprehensive on her instructions for accomplishing flawless piecing with minimum effort. She also makes you want to break out of all the quilting boxes and explore your own world of creativity.
I really enjoyed the book and will add it to my collection of reference quilt books.

This is a WONDERFUL book. It's so easy to understand, very visual, neat projects, and a great addition to my library. Ruth has done it again with one of her "How-To" books. Thanks for making it so easy for us.
All levels of quilters can use this.
OUTSTANDING! August 10, 2007

This is the next best thing to having Ruth in the room with you (which I have experienced). She leads you through her construction process in a clear and precise fashion.
Thanks, Ruth!!

This is my first introduction to Ruth McDowell and to piecing in a formal environment. Meaning, as a self taught artist....a book on how-to's is always an interesting adventure.
Ruth does a really nice job in articulating each project in her book. I appreciate the fact that she makes the effort to present the information on piecing in understandable terms & in colorful displays. This is a good read for the beginner and for those who already are in the 'know'. Nicely done. CJ
