Unlike show quilts, which often seem too precious to use, quilt pattern designer Holland's creations are for everyday use, with a focus on simplicity and easy piecing. The 12 projects in this book range in size from table runners and baby quilts to queen-size quilts, but most can be made larger or smaller by changing the number of blocks sewn. The cutting and assembly instructions are straightforward and include diagrams for many of the steps. The simplicity of the piecing allows the quilting to shine, and Holland includes suggested machine-quilting designs for most of the items, as well as tutorials for hand quilting and hand-tying.
VERDICT Quilters of all skill levels who are looking for unfussy designs and cozy comfort will be drawn to this collection.
