Baskets to Applique Paperback – February 14, 2006

This is a great book for applique, with lots of hints and very cute patterns. I plan to make a quilt using these patterns.

I like this pattern just what I need for basket applique

I just love the baskets in this book. It's well written, easy to read and use. I've had hours of creative work stemming from ideas in this book.

Found this very useful with my preparation of baskets for a quilt that my group was doing.The different blocks made it into a beautiful quilt

Nice examples for applique

I find that the designs themselves are fine, and presented in such a way that they can be added to or adjusted/changed. What I think is impressive about this book are the instructions. The instructions on how to use the Clover bias strip maker (for stems, etc) made me proficient, something the instructions on the product itself did not do. They present options for applique methods and the how-tos for each method. I was impressed with the clarity and usability of this book.
