Book Review
"ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CLASSIC QUILT PATTERNS" 

by Rachel Graco, Grandma's Attic
as published in Grandma's Scrapbasket

This book is amazing! There are 101 quilt patterns in this soft cover book by Leisure Arts, including some of my own favorites--Broken Star, Dresden Plate, Grandmother's Fan, Sunbonnet Sue, Tree of Life, Whig Rose plus many, many more. Each pattern includes a full color photo with a little description about the quilt, step-by-step instructions with updated, labor-saving techniques, and the templates or other instructions you need to make that quilt. Some of the photos are of vintage style quilts dating to the 1930s. The book is a literal feast for the eyes, even if you never intend to make a quilt! 

Another amazing thing about this book is the cost. At $24.95, each pattern (with full color photography) actually works out to cost about 25 cents! That's a real bargain--one you don't find too often! If you are a quilt enthusiast or if you know someone who is, you will want to buy this book. (Think Mother's Day, birthday, special gift, treat for yourself, and "just because!")
