Squares and Triangles: 13 Fun Patterns For Innovating And Renovating (Scrap Quilt Book) Paperback – Import, 1 May 2011

This book is full of good ideas and tips for making quilts. It was just what I was looking for. I just can’t wait to sort out all my scraps. Very good value for money bit i must ad it I would have preferred a paper version so I could linger over the photographs longer!

Nice patterns even a beginner can use.

Elsie Campbell has written a devilishly clever book that will appeal to quilters who love finding simple ways to make blocks and quilts that look hard to make. I bought this book for the pattern that is on the cover and was not disappointed. She has discovered a way to make triangular blocks that are more foolproof and certainly much faster than those constructed with the usual methods we are presented with. In addition to the cover quilt there are two other patterns in the book that I definitely want to make (I usually consider myself lucky if I find one pattern, let alone three, in a book that I genuinely like). Bravo, and highly recommended.

Happy with it

I will be taking a class with Elsie Campbell, and wanted to understand her approach better beforehand. This book has clear instructions, beautiful photos, and opportunities for inspiration and personalization. I plan on following several patterns in this book to make some heirloom quilts!
