(In the publisher's defense, they went through a buyout, moved their offices and lost three editors during the time this book was being written, and it's still 99.9% accurate).All of the errors that I was aware of have now been corrected in the second printing, which happened in the summer of 2009, so you can buy and use this book with confidence. RaNae Merrill It it was important to ME to correct them at the first possible opportunity, so I provided a list on my blog ([.].). (I have in my possession a book by a very famous quilting teacher which, even though it has been reprinted more than 10 times, still contains dozens of errors that have not been corrected since the first printing).Even after careful review and editing, errors slipped into the first printing of Simply Amazing Spiral Quilts. And, the publishers usually don't say anything about it because they don't want to look bad. From the author:Most books do get published with errors. Hopefully the errors get corrected in subsequent printings, but sometimes even that doesn't happen. You can still use the book successfully even without the corrections listed there.
JR They are developed in several programs that are not named and I cannot find a program to open them. I have also had a great deal of touble calling up the spirals on the CD. I really want to make the mandala. The Spiral Quilts book is beautiful, but where is the pattern for the quilt pictured on the front. If it is cover quilt, isn't it usually highlighted in the book. Please advise if I am just missing the instructions.
I have done the 'log-cabin-with-a-twist' before, but seeing how she made them in such differing shapes such as triangles is fantastic. Reading the way it is done opens up a whole new quilting experience. Well done Ms Merrill and thanks from 'down under' Sydney Australia. This book had been 'calling' to me for some time and when I was given an Amazon gift voucher that is what I bought with it. I love it. That quilt on the front now seems do-able and I will try it.
Absolutely amazing quilts. The instructions on how to draw your own patterns are extremely valuable to those who wish to create their own one-of-a-kind quilts.[.].All in all, an excellent book to add to an imaginative quilter's library.
The product arrived very quickly and in great condition. I would definely order thru this person again.
