E-book Review


 

I was asked to review a Fons and Porter Modern Quilts e-book.


I've never reviewed anything before so I thought I would give it a try. I looked at both the presentation of the e-book and the pattern directions.

The e-book has three quilt patterns in it. The directions to each quilt seemed easy to read and understand.

I loved the photo of the Baubles and Beads (the top quilt) in the bedroom and how pillows were made with matching fabrics. The photo showing how to put the quilt together was most helpful. I like how they put the finished quilt measurement right there on the first page. I do not like having to hunt around in magazines for the finished quilt sizes.

The second quilt (middle in the picture) was Rainbow Rhythm Quilt.  I like how it had a closeup of the quilting. I find that helpful when looking for ideas on how to quilt. They had a Diagram that was most helpful but seemed a little blurry and hard to read. Not sure if it is my computer or perhaps the gray text font that was used.

Loved the photos for Lemon Squeezy. It is a quilt as you go quilt. I read the directions very carefully to be sure I understood them. They were well written and can easily be followed.

All in all, I enjoyed the e-book and will probably make at least one of the quilts.
