This book is a fun quilt project. The story that is included is wonderful to read.

I bought this, cause I seen the blocks and thought it would be a great quilt to make. the patterns for the blocks are terrible. The full pattern for each block is not complete and does not give very good instructions. I like the stories in the book, and I like the blocks, but I don't see making this quilt. If I had know that the book was this bad on instructions, I would not have bought it.

Stories are very interesting - you can put yourself in the timeframe and feel like you are living it. Availability of templates needed to make the quilt is a plus.

This is a great book. But it is not only about quilts, it is the stories written by the Farmer's wives that makes the book so worth buying. While the patterns are included, the 6 inch blocks are not for a beginning quiltmaker. I have made quilts for the last 20 years and I find quite a few of the blocks very challenging. Still, between the challenge of making all the blocks in the quilt and the stories of the wives, it is well worth the price.
Complete quilting book with everything you would expect, but very good reading with all the letters from the farmers' wives. It's easy to get engrossed in the letters and forget why you opened the book. But just look at the quilt: It's wonderful, and by the way, the author sewed each block by hand. A 5-Star book for sure.
