Review from Popular Patchwork magazine

This is an interesting book containing patterns for thirteen quilts, all made with an assortment of Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes and Charm Squares, usually in combination with each other. Most of the designs, which are fairly large bed quilts, require more than one coordinating Jelly Roll, or a Jelly Roll with a coordinating Layer Cake. There are many very pretty and distinctly different designs here, but there are also some more masculine quilts, which is good to see as it's often hard to find good bed quilt patterns for men. The use of pre-cut fabric reduces the time and effort normally required to produce such large quilts, but each pattern also gives excellent stash option alternatives, so you could mix and match pre-cuts and stash fabrics very easily. If you like using pre-cuts but are looking for a bit of inspiration for a large project then this would be a very helpful guide.

Review From Kay Mackenzie, allaboutapplique.net

Most of the staff at Martingale (parent company of That Patchwork Place) are quiltmakers. In this collaborative pattern book they challenged themselves to use the yummy precut assortments available today... we're talking jelly rolls, layer cakes, honey buns, turnovers, dessert rolls, fat quarters, and charm packs... to whip up a bakery case of delectable quilts.

Note: It isn't required to use precuts. Each set of instructions also gives fabric requirements for pulling from your stash or from bolts at the quilt shop. But just in case you have been tempted by those luscious jelly rolls, layer cakes, etc., the book gives information on how to handle them, sort them, to wash or not to wash, and what to do about those confusing pinked edges. It's a great resource for any quiltmaker.

Review from Karen Platt, Book Reviewer

Nothing to do with baking but rather cooking the quilt blocks! If you have ever bought a jelly roll or layer cake and it is lying around gathering dust, get yourself a copy of this wonderful book for 13 very good recipes for beautiful quilts. Some unusual shapes are used. I love the ladybirds (ladybugs) and the circle cushions. As with all That Patchwork Place books, it has good instructions with templates where necessary and great designs.

Review from Barbara Rhoades, Top 500 Reviewer, Amazon.com

The staff of That Patchwork Place must have had a ball putting this book together. The fabrics are bright and cheery and many can use up that stash of material you have--no need to buy new yardage.

I love making “new” fabric from my scraps.  Just sew those strips together and cut a new 6" or 8" block or rectangle! Use these “new” blocks to make your quilt. The example of this in the book is a project called “My Scrappy Challenge.” Jelly Fish is made of strip squares for the blocks with a main color needed in yardage. I definitely will show these to my charity guild.

Not only is there a baker’s dozen of quilts but there is even a bonus quilt, so you have 14 different quilts to make. Each project has a blurb about it followed by the materials and cutting lists. There is even a stash option in a framed box.

The color photo has the finished quilt and block size under it and who designed, pieced and quilted it. The written directions are easy to follow and have plenty of graphics for you to look at. The assembly and finishing instructions are straightforward but alas there are just the normal “quilt as desired” directions.

In any case, this is a book that I will definitely have in my library. I always have scraps I can’t part with and now I have a way to use them and make a gift that my family will treasure for years to come.

Review from Stick Your Nose in a Book: Quilting Book Reviews by Jennifer Zoeterman

From the staff at That Patchwork Place comes a book with a lot of variety. Using jelly rolls and layer cakes, they also incorporated honey buns (one and a half inch strips), fat quarters, and charm packs (5" squares). Since each quilt has a different designer, there are lots of beautiful takes on using these precut fabrics. Each pattern includes a "stash option" for those of us who haven't taken the precut plunge yet.
