Fun & funky patchwork
This is my most used book on patchwork - it's such fun, and so practical -nothing of the serious quilt maker here. You can make a blanket for dolly, wall hanging, table runner, bags, covers, apron, sewing set, there are instructions for a fabulous set of bags with zips that my friends are queuing up for! A wonderful book with items you can truly enjoy making whilst practicing your patchwork techniques as the same time. Brilliant.So far I have made a quilt, several of the zip up bags, a colourful tote (using a different construction method from my usual one) and am starting on the sewing kit set next. Instructions aren't what you'd call comprehensive, but really it's easy to see what has to be done.

Very Inspirational
I wholeheartely agree with the previous reviewer. This book is full of colour, innovation and inspiration. So far I've only browsed through it, having only just received it, but am looking forward to trying out many of the projects. It really does make you want to get sewing right away, as there are so many unusual ideas, like the raw edge work, that I haven't used before. Well worth the purchase. I will try to write an updated review when I have actually made up some of the projects.

Great!
The author is norwegian and I have all her books. They are so great! The colors she uses are great and the projects are so much fun!
