Trade ReviewThese 20 quilts are a modern development of traditional Log Cabin blocks. They are simple blocks in clear bright colours. Only three techniques are used, Snowball block, half square triangles and pieced strips. There is an introduction to assembling the quilts but no quilting instructions, nevertheless the clear photos show the quilting designs. Each quilt has three size options; baby, a throw (60" by 72") and a bed quilt plus some cushions. There are alternative colourways for each quilt. It would be suitable for a beginner as the instructions and diagrams are easy to follow.
