Quilts from Grandmother's Garden Paperback – July 10, 2012

LOVE the designs in this book. The designer has made just the most exquisite quilts. I am happy just paging through it and admiring the lovely quilts in it. Yes, the quilts are small, but if you use larger hexagons, the designs and the quilts will be larger. Still haven't decided which quilt to make first, but it's a great pleasure trying to decide. I have done EPP before, so I am able to figure out how to sew the hexagons together just by looking at the color diagrams. But new quilters or sewists could probably use more specific and detailed instructions. That is the only thing I see lacking, and since it is not an issue for me, I did not deduct a star from the rating. This is an excellent book and I find myself reaching for it over and over just to look through it.

This is actually a great book. I think they should have been more up front about the fact that it's primarily for miniature quilts but all you have to do is use larger hexagons and simply follow the same designs which I found to be unique. Am working on a traditional Grandmother's Quilt currently but when completed will start on the one pictured on the cover only using 1 1/2" or maybe even 2" templates instead. The book is well layed out, quite explicit re technique and an all out fresh approach to using hexagons. It's GREAT piece work while watching TV.Yvonne.......New Carlisle, Ohio

Yet another wonderful book of ideas to use with English Paper Piecing hexagons. As other reviewers said the patterns are formini hexagons. If you want to make the patters larger just increase the size of the hexagons. She has some great ideas for using parts of the hexagons to create other shapes like butterflies. Another great book on English Paper Piecing. I gave this a four because the patterns are limited to the hexagon shapes. The New English Paper Piecing: A Faster Approach to a Traditional Favorite is a more modern use of this technique and includes other shapes besides the hexagon and that it is why I gave it a five. Both books are a wonderful addition to your Applique Library.

Great ideas for smaller projects, and good techniques for sewing the smaller pieces.

Did not learn anything knew. Have been quilting for years. I occasionally like to read what other quilters have to say & perhaps some new tips.

Really liked all the cute patterns. Can't wait to find the paper pieces, so I can stop wasting my time playing IPAD games in the car to keep my hands busy and make something worthwhile and beautiful.

I love this quilt book on using hexies to make beautiful projects!

So happy to get this book that I've wanted for years. It's in great shape and I'm looking forward to making the cover quilt.

I was looking for the Grandmother's Flower Garden pattern and found this book! While at first glance it might look as if you would need to be an expert in English paper piecing, you dont. Because the patterns use whole hexagons, it's very easy to adjust to a larger size! The directions are easy to follow.

Tiene una forma original de utilizar el "jardín de la abuela", con modelos nuevos que se pueden incluir en proyectos más amplios o tal como los propone. Aplicados muy bonitos y buenas explicaciones.

Je suis ravie de cet achat qui m'ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour utiliser ce grand classique qu'est l'hexagone, le jardin de grand-mère.

Un libro muy bueno donde se ilustran gran cantidad de maneras del acolchar y dibujos para realizar. Todos los modelos traen sus explicaciones y las medidas de las piezas para poder realizar.

The service was excellant, the book is very good withh nice clear pictures and very informative for all levels. I bought three book one for myself and the others for my quilting friends.
