Review from The Canadian Quilter, Spring 2014
If you want bang for your nickels, this is the book! This book offers 40 quilt projects and is a compilation of two previous books ... Nickel Quilts and the best seller More Nickel Quilts! It is a great value for the price, especially if you like the scrappy look. I'll admit that scrappy didn't always appeal to me until I saw my friend Diana's cottage with all the beds covered in scrappy quilts. It looked like something out of Better Homes and Gardens! I eyed the previous books in the past, but I am now glad I waited for this value-packed version of the two books. I felt a little slow as I read the book; I now realize that "nickel" refers to 5" squares ... hence the scrappy look. Something else I love about this book is that it gives you fabric requirements for the various sizes of each quilt. Having worked in a fabric store I wish I had a nickel (cash or fabric) for every time I had a customer who said, "I want to make this quilt but in a different size!"
