The beginning of the book gives several lessons in basic techniques i.e. I liked how the book also included directions for multiple size quilts, usually baby ( 36 in square) throw ( approximately 60 x70 inch) and coverlet / bed quilts ( queen and king size.) Natalia and Kathleen also threw in some patterns for pillows that were really cute. And yes sometimes I make modifications to blocks/ quilts as I adjust the patterns to my own needs. I also like being able to draft the patterns of the blocks in EQ7 when I make a quilt because this allows me to see what my fabrics would look like in a quilt. I love these kind of pictures as this gives me the best idea of how my quilt will look.
This is continued in all the patterns.Īll of the quilts have a picture of a flat lying quilt hung on a wall. If the quilt is done as a neutral in the book then the other blocks are cool and warm. It gives you the idea of what the quilt would look in different colors. I also like how the books present alternate color-ways for each block. I like how the book takes a small block and then by twisting and turning it turns it into different position to make a lovely layout. There are several quilts that use more innovative piecing techniques. The quilts in CABIN FEVER have a definite modern flair, most of them using the traditional log cabin technique to make the blocks. I have a number of young nieces and nephews who all show preferences for graphic, modern art designs in the furniture and homes they have. I am once again drooling over the patterns in the book. After all I have only had the book in my position a couple of days. And no I have not made any of the quilts in the book….

Lots of pictures of pretty quilts with great layouts and beautiful free motion quilting. First reason to like the book is the great eye candy in it. I just got CABIN FEVER by Natalia Bonner and Kathleen Whiting. I have a number of young nieces and nephews who all show prefe.
