Owen ★★★★★

The patterns are so charming that I’ve already picked three to make for my grandkids. The way the storybook characters translate into quilt blocks is clever, and the instructions are easy to follow. A lovely book for any quilter.

Ava ★★★★★

Bought this to make a baby quilt for my niece and ended up planning three more before I'd even finished the first block. The instructions are clear enough that I didn't have to reread anything twice, which is rare for me.

Ella G. ★★★★★

The quilt patterns in here are way more varied than I expected for a single book, and the step-by-step diagrams actually make sense to me as a beginner. I've already flagged four designs to work through this winter, starting with the one based on that classic children's story.
