[.ca] Even More Quilts for Baby: Easy as ABC (ISBN 1564772829)

Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful:
If you like to make baby quilts this is the book for you! There are so many beautiful baby quilts in this book and they are easy to make! I am a beginning quilter and have made 3 of the quilts in the book. The instructions are clear and easy and they even have arrows pointing in the direction of which way to press your seams. I really like the pictures of the different finished quilts shown in the book too, and the different variations of the same quilt. I have very little creativity when it comes to putting fabric together for a quilt but this book gives you some inspiration!

Sew straight lines? Make a Quilt!:
This is my favorite of Ursula's 3 books, much easier than the other two (which are also wonderful) and VERY easy to adapt to the growing child. I currently have 6 of her designs in que for quilting for babies due, to friends and family AND am an avid scrapbooker, work part-time, raising twin toddlers...YOU CAN DO IT with this book! If you can sew a straight line, you can make a quilt! I give this book to anyone even thinking of learning to quilt. The "recipes" are easy and very understandable!

Great if you don't sew but own a sewing machine!!!:
You will amaze yourself and others with the creations you make using this book. I'm in that category of people who own a sewing machine and don't sew, and I made 2 different baby quilts following the simple instructions in this book. By trial and error I learned to stipple, stitch in the ditch, and hand finish the back. When I finished my first quilt I kept admiring it, I was so proud of it!!! I recommend this book to anyone who wants to try making baby quilts, whether you have sewing experience or whether you don't but own a sewing machine. This book will make a quilter out of you!

By far the BEST in the series!!!:
10 different quilts each photographed in bold colors and then in soft pastels. This is an awesome detail because you would not believe how different each pattern looks just switching between bold and soft colors!! The quilts are listed from easiest to "most difficult", but even the most difficult one could still be completed by a first time quilter!! The patterns are beautiful yet so simple to create. Instructions for each quilt are very clear and easy to follow. The book even suggests which way to iron each and every seam!! The instructions for each pattern will only make a "baby" size quilt, but because the instructions are so well laid out (especailly the material requirements) it is VERY easy to adapt the instructions to make a larger size quilt. (So it goes far beyond baby quilts!!!) Oh, and did I mention how easy, Easy, EASY these quilts are to make??? The truly great thing about them though is they look far more sophisticated and complicated than they really are! You will not be disappointed with this book!

5 stars because this book is so versatile:
yes, it's meant to be for baby/toddler quilts. However, just change the fabric and colors and, tadaaaa you have a lap quilt for an adult. Easy patterns, with terrific instructions. I have made 10 quilts from this book, using various patterns. And have 3 more ready to quilt. Never boring, shows the patterns in vivid colors and then again in pastels. I rate this book higher than the other Ursula books, (sorry Ursula). A great "Primer" for those just starting to quilt, or don't want to spend a lot of time fussy cutting, and would like to have a quilt in a few days. I have also enlarged the quilts and have found the patterns are very friendly in increasing the amount of squares or blocks.
