Stack the Deck! by Karla Alexander (2002, Paperback, Illustrated)

I briefly dropped in on a class given using this book and decided it was a "had to have". The color info & chain piecing is like paper or foundation piecing without the hassle, which was great. I love pictures and wide use of materials to show versitility and pics were just OK. The gals in the class used fab material & I was amazed at the individualized look each achieved in their quilts using this book as guide. From baby to very sophisticated batik, each was wonderful and they said easy.
However, I thought the book would have tear out patterns for those of us too insecure to just cut into a stack of fabric. So I was very, very disappointed that wasn't offered but did have blow-ups made. Going to try this fast and easy method next week. Of course you have to have great new fabric for these patterns so a quilt shop run is in order.
