The book is beautiful. I've already cut out most of my pieces for "Geometric Slide" and I'm collecting fabrics for "Cosmos Baby". I do feel, however, that this book relies too heavily on paper foundation piecing. In some cases it's necessary, such as the lovely "Wheel of Fortune" or so that points line up precisely in "Tilted Star". But others seem more suited for traditional piecing. Several blocks are entirely rectangles, squares, and half-square triangles, yet are foundation pieced. I'd be more interested in making the blocks if sizes for traditional piecing were given, but not with foundation templates. I feel this way about "Crosspatch", "Rolling Squares", "Cross and Crown", "Double Windmill", "Red Cross" and the "Mayflower" 12 inch (though I appreciate the tiny templates for the "Mayflower" 3 inch blocks!). I may just measure the templates, add 1/4 inch seam allowances, and come up with my own measurements for traditional piecing if I'm going to make entire quilts from those blocks.

Had I known that 65% of the blocks were paper pieced, I would never have bought the book. Now that I have it, I'm plowing through it, but paper piecing is no fun for me.Just give me the block layout and some measurements.
