Book Reviews of Quilt Mavens: Perfect Paper Piecing

Book Review: WOW, AM I SURPISED
Summary: 5 Stars

I guess I would just like to comment a bit about the comments in the reviews.

I bought this book after waiting forever for its release. I was not disappointed. I believe their patterns to be a step up from many of the same-old same-old patterns that are out there. I agree that the book may not be written with the beginner in mind, but to me just looking at the cover quilt would be a BIG indicator that these patterns may not be geared toward beginners.

Paper foundation piecing is very similar regardless of who does it, maybe a few little different tips on how to proceed (such as needle size, paper removal, etc.), but for the most part the whole process is to SEW ON THE LINE to create an accurate method of completing a quilt block or section of a block.

I would recommend this book to anyone who would like a breath of fresh air in the quilting world. The patterns in this book are well worth the price of the book. The CD rom templates print like magic and are very accurate. As an avid paper piecer, I do not need the repetition of how to paper piece every time I buy a book. What a waste of trees.
