CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Different and Great -
These quilts are truly different. They are colorful and almost each of them employs a different technique. I keep going back to the little box looking through all the quilts and have already purchased the fabric for the first one. Unlike in other books I like about half of them enough to plan on making them.

A quick, take-along inspirational project card. -
Jenny Wilding Cardon's The Little Box of Baby Quilts is a set of project cards that can be used to produce inspirational and quick designs for boys and girls. These are portable cards in a box, each holding step-by-step directions, a color photo and templates, and even an introduction to basic techniques for beginners. The quilts use a blend of quick piecing and easy applique techniques. While not appropriate for library lending, they are perfect for the quilter who wants a quick, take-along inspirational project card.

A Sensory Sensation for Baby! -
I may be biased, as I am the author's sister-in-law, but these quilts are darling! I've never seen baby quilts that make such wonderful use of color and texture. If you're looking for unique designs that will catch baby's eye, this is the box of designs you want.

My favorite design for its use of rich color contrast is "Sad Days, Hippie Days" which combines a tie-dyed background fabric with blocks of happy and sad smiley faces. A close runner-up for me is "Elementary!" which features green, yellow, and red striped blocks on a deep violet background.

If you're looking for a textured quilt, take a look at "Inch by Inch", a pattern that turns fuzzy fabric into cheery caterpillars with bright, smiley faces. And, I think most of us love the "I Love Mama" pattern, with the big fluffy heart right in the middle.

Any pattern you choose from this 20-pattern collection is bound to be baby's favorite blanky.
