Trade ReviewMay 14
This bright and breezy book by popular quilting blogger Corey Yoder features eighteen simple but striking projects, all designed to be achieved using fusible web bonding and pre-cuts. The layout of the book is pleasing and the instructions easy to follow; beginners should be able to realise all the featured designs, but experienced quilters may also find the projects inspiring. The author's tone is informal, and she offers sound advice on techniques from personal experience that new quilters might find particularly helpful and refreshing. Considering that the projects are all petal-based, there's a good variety of makes with some excellent fabric choices. The designs are all pleasantly contemporary and deceptively simple. Standout projects for me include the Rainbow Petals and Tossed Petals quilts, but all the designs in this delightful book are certainly worth a look.
