Quilter's Review Sampler
February 21, 2005

Piecing It All Together

This week in Quilter's Review I've worked with Center-It rulers from Clearview. If your work has you frequently finding the center of things, or centering one thing on another, the small investment in these clever rulers will save you lots of time and mental math.

And if you've been put off by triangles in the past, there's no reason to fear them any more. Sophie reviews Hooked On Triangles, a fast, accurate piecing method that will let you expand your repertoire and reduce the stress and strain of using triangles in your work.

Sophie also reviews Cuddle Up!, a book of inspired baby quilts that don't rely on bunnies and duckies for their artistic appeal.

I'll be back in your inbox on March 7.

'Til then, happy quilting!

P.S. Thinking about a new sewing machine? Save a bunch of time, money, and frustration! The Quilter's Review Guide To Picking A Sewing Machine You'll Love will help you discover your unique sewing profile, test sewing machines thoroughly, negotiate for the best value, and more. Learn more about this valuable resource here.
