When Angela's name is on the cover, you know you are in for some quilting magic. I, like many quilters, am a sucker for nine-patch and I love it best when traditional meets modern. So I opened my copy of this book with great expectations. The front cover is busy, bold and intriguing. You can easily see all the quilting projects inside the front cover and they are wide and varied - an excellent mix. 21 projects in all so one or three for everyone there with Jennifer's fresh, contemporary approach. You'll find everything here from basic construction to variation with imagination. Very clear instructions with illustrations make this book easy to use. I like it a lot. Will also spark other ideas and you can easily interpret and adapt these wonderful quilts. -- Karen Platt * www.karenplatt.co.uk *
