Review
HOW QUAINT Guess what the hot new book in Amazon's homes and gardens category is? A hip guerrilla gardening guide? Kirstie Allsopp's top tips? Nope - Layer Cake, Jelly Roll and Charm Quilts, a quilting manual(right). Crafty punters are pre-ordering in their droves before it's even out on 29 May. --The London Paper

The instructions are clearly written with diagrams and colourful photos. This is a book full of original ideas, my choice for book of the month. --Patchwork and Quilting

Customer Reviews

I think this is even better than the first book!
I have only made one quilt from the first book and although there are a few I might one day make - I can't wait to make far more of the designs in this book.
I think this book is clearer, easier instructions, great photos of very different colourways of each design and more variety of styles.
I've hesitated to buy this book because I wasn't overly thrilled with first book but am really pleased with this purchase!
Personally I don't think the cover photo does it justice!
