Summary: Recommended by the Accidental Quilter
Comment: My love of Hawaiian quilting attracted me to this book and Baltimore album quilting. The instructions and patterns are clear and the designs are awesome. I particularly like the simpler patterns like double hearts, fleur-de-lis, and you are perfect (a pineapple design). I think it may be possible to machine applique as well as hand applique these designs. Of course, there are many intricate designs too--many that require rouched flowers and curved stems and intricate applique that I can only imagine being quilted by the most devoted. The directions on how to cut out the patterns with paper folding are clear and helpful. You could spend a lifetime making the quilts in this book--and what a beautiful life you'd have!

Summary: Good Instruction, So-So Designs
Comment: Great step-by-step instruction manual on various appliqué methods, but I found the designs for the lessons to be uninspiring. Nothing jumped out and screamed "Make-Me, Make-Me".
The book has twelve lessons including: Cutwork Applique and the Tack Stitch, Onliad Cutwork Applique, Inlaid Cutwork Applique, Straight-edge Applique, Unit Cutowrk with Folded Fabric Flowers, Interrupted Cutwork, Stuffed Applique, and Mixed Applique techniques. The book also has 27 patterns, and a 16 page color section with the lesson blocks and finished examples of contemporary and classic Baltimore Quilts.
