If you love vintage quilts or mini quilts or both, you will love this book. Just last year I ventured into making bed size quilts and creating miniature miniatures that could decorate countertops and walls. In this book you will find 15 beautiful little quilt patterns that will brighten up any room. These little quilts aren't just a standard sized block with a set of borders like some so-called mini quilts I've seen. These designs are really tiny blocks (the smallest I could see are 1 1/2 ready made 4 patches in Mo Suspenders) put together into cute quilts. The patterns aren't complicated, so don't get any taller as a beginner, but when creating miniatures, you're working with such small details that sewing accuracy becomes critical. A beginner needs to be very careful to get accurate stitches. Full-color instructions are clear, if not long. Because the designs are not complex, many instructions are not required. There is a six-page section on quilting basics at the end of the book that will be helpful for less experienced quilters. Anything made with Civil War fabrics catches my eye, but not everyone is as good at pairing the right prints with quilt designs as this author here, I want to make a few of these now, but I have too many already Projects in progress, I know this isn't going to be a book that just sits on the shelf and doesn't get used to it. Even if you're not a big fan of Civil War fabrics but love small quilts, these designs will look great on everything from patchwork to designer collections. I would recommend, as stated in another review, to use smaller prints otherwise the design will be lost when cut into small pieces for quilts. Some medium-sized prints are suitable for the borders of most quilts. I rarely buy a quilt book without first reviewing it, but I pre-ordered this book and I'm definitely not disappointed.
