501 Quilt Blocks : A Treasury of Patterns for Patchwork and Applique
by Better Homes and Gardens

Review: Read it!! Use it!! Make a quilt for Project Linus!! :o)

Subtitled A Treasury of Patterns for Patchwork and Appliqué, this comprehensive book is just that--250 pages of pattern-block diagrams accompanied by concise construction directions and small color photos of the made-up blocks in well-chosen colors. In addition, a prelimary chapter gives instructions for about 15 projects, and a tips and techniques section outlines the basics for making the blocks and the projects. Whether your tastes run to the more traditional (nine-patch, star, basket, or pineapple variations, among many others) or the more experimental (appliquéd orchids, cacti, or heraldic designs, for example), you're likely to find something of interest here. **Cookie Note** I LOVE this book!!!
