500 Quilt Blocks

Posted by on
500 Quilt Blocks, which I have co-written with Kerry Green will soon be available in online and bricks and mortar shops around the world.  Kerry and I will also be selling signed copies direct from our blogs as soon as we have them.


Three actual real life advance copies were sent to each of us last week and seeing them made up for the incredible amount of work Kerry and I have done on this book.  


500 Quilt Blocks literally means that.  Not computer drawn blocks.  Actual real life blocks.  


100 main blocks, some classics and some new ones and four variations on each block.


And on top of that there are twenty projects made using the blocks.  From the very very teeny ... 


 ... through small ... 


 ... medium ... 


 ... bigger again ... 


 ... to full-blown quilt size.  


And as if that wasn't enough, we've even included a comprehensive introductory "how-to" section. 


If you get your hands on a copy, we'd love to know what you think and we'd love you to review it on Amazon if you have a spare moment!

    Looks great, and I can see it must have been so much work to put together. What happened to all the 500 orphan blocks?!! Have you made quiltings biggest sampler?!

    How amazingly exciting - can't wait to get a copy and love the size. Lovely things do come in small packages...and that is not a euphemism!

    this book is going to be on every quilters shelf in the world...and probably many non-quilter shelves too. What an incredible little perfectly formed bible! (and I think I spied my name in the index...eeeeeek!!)
