SUMMARY- This is the third book of Sally's that I've added to mom's library. She very carefully explains why this isn't a miniature quilting book, but I've always thought if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I get to call it a duck. So despite her protestations to the contrary, I have put a link to this on the miniatures quilting page - please forgive me if I have offended.
As with the other two books of hers I've bought, this one does not disappoint. You get a really cool set of projects, yes, but she also gives really excellent tutorials and advice on getting the precision you need in order to do this smaller scale work. I found myself nodding along and smiling as I read, pleased that she didn't miss a trick and taught me a few things I'm going to have to try. Her graphics support and reinforce her tutorials really well - I don't think anyone will have trouble following along with this book. I highly recommend it if you want to give miniature small scale quiltmaking a try!
