Each of the blocks in this book feature detailed instructions with plenty of photographs so we can easily understand and make them. I have just added to my 'to do' list (pretty soon I will need a roll of paper for this list...) a quilt with the self-mitered log cabin block on page 88. I may also need to try her pineapple block - it seems much quicker than the traditional way of making it.
Throughout the book Anita provides time-saving tips and notes about how to ensure you get enough fabric at the store, best way to sew using foundation paper, how to get the most out of fabrics as you cut them, etc. The 'Ask Anita' section at the beginning of the book answers most questions we might want to ask her, and I suggest you read it before you start any of the projects - it is like having her next to you as you attempt to make one of her blocks.
If you like to learn easier ways to cut quilt blocks (and how to make the windmill block without wasting fabric, as happens when we use the Twister ruler), you will like this book!

Very Inspiring!
I purchased this book after seeing Anita's blog. The Self-Mitered Log Cabin is what initially intrigued me, although I intend to make others from this book too. The layout I chose for the self-mitered log cabin and using only 2 main colors were a variation from the original pattern, but shows that her technique can be used in a wide variety of layouts and still look great.Anita's book is well layed out with many inspiring photos. She explains and shows her innovative techniques very well. I would recommend this book to beginner and experienced quilters alike.
