Quilt as you go is a widely-known technique and described with various methods. Brandvig keeps the topic simple, includes 50+ block patterns as schematics and presents 3 assembly methods, one of which is the least fussy and truly quick. I tried out 3 block patterns (#'s 6, 46, 48). Although these blocks were satisfactory, a complete beginner might find the directions too sparse. I chose method 1 for the final quilt assembly. The photos with the directions were very clear but despite careful sewing, I did not achieve properly flattened joined seams as shown. A troubleshooting page would have been welcome. As well, a specific section describing details of what creates a vintage feel in quilts would also add to the book. ( )
