                  <p><strong>101 Quilt Blocks for Hand Piecing or Machine piecing if You're Friends With Your Machine </strong>by Linda Causee<br>
                    Patchwork goes portable in our newest " 101 Series " book of quilt blocks, complete with full-size patterns and helpful instructions for quilter's on the go-from beginners to experts. Updating the old notion that hand piecing is only for folks with too much time on their, well, hands this book shows how hand piecing can actually simplify the process of assembling some quilt blocks-particularly those with curves or seams that unite in a point. Best of all, your stitching project can be toted along in your purse while your sewing machine rests at home! Featuring many classic designs along with some innovations, this collection will instill new enthusiasm in every quiltmaker.</p>
                  <p><strong class="red">202 Little Log Cabin Blocks </strong>by Linda Causee <strong> LOST BOOK</strong><br>
                    Here's a collection of blocks that you will use time and time again for little or mini quilts. Also use them as a nice alternative for borders or corner setting blocks. By using this foundation method for piecing, you don't have to worry about exact cutting of any weird shapes or tedious matching of points. Pieces are added to a foundation using a stitch and flip open technique where all you have to do is stitch on the line.</p>
                  <p><strong>500 Full-Size Patchwork Patterns</strong> by Maggie Malone<br>
                    This book  is a collection of patchwork patterns.
                    The collection is untraditional and there were few patterns that I
                    recognized. The pattern pictures are quite small and printed in black
                    and white. There are no instructions and you must be an experienced
                    quilter for some of the patterns. Overall, it is a neat pattern book.
                  <p> <strong>5,500 Quilt Block Designs</strong> by Maggie Malone<br>
                    With 5,500 blocks to copy, adapt, and combine in countless ways, no quilter will ever have to run out of patterns anymore. Some designs are classics and taken from museum collections, handed from friend to friend, or kept in a family for many years. Each pattern is drawn on a grid showing the number of squares to the block which makes it easy to mix-and-match, because they all draft to the same size. The dazzling choices include a Premium Star, Double Pyramid, Strips and Squares, Farmer's Puzzle, Sunburst, Beggar's Blocks, and countless more. They're arranged by type--including 4-, 5-, and 9-patch patterns; circles and curves; octagons; diamonds; and 8-point stars--and all indexed alphabetically by name. There's even information on each block's source. As a special bonus Maggie Malone has included a section of Alphabet Patch Patterns to use for personalizing every block.
