Simple Quilts from Me and My Sister Designs: Easy as 1, 2, 3

My wife likes this book as a starting guide for beginner quilters and it has given her some really good ideas. It is well laid out, simple, and easy to follow. That said, there are a few critical mistakes in the book that are obvious if you think them through so it's not a big problem. But the user should absolutely not take every word as if it is perfect. A couple of the measurements just didn't make sense. My wife asked my opinion and I agreed that her reasoning was correct. Again, very nice book and kudos the authors for their work, but it could have used a bit more editing.

This is the best book for beginning quilters I've ever found. The 12 quilts run from "super-ultra simple" to "simple" & all have interesting designs. As a beginning quilter, I feel confident trying out some of these quilts to reduce my stash of quilting cottons.

Got this for my mom for Christmas. She's a veteran quilter, but as dementia starts to take over, has a harder and harder time with complex patterns. Then she gets frustrated and stops quilting all together for a while. These patterns are perfect for her. They're easy to follow, results are as advertised, and she continues to enjoy her hobby. She loves it.

Excellent! I am a beginning quilter and these are all quilts I could actually do! All are attractive, look great, but are simple enough I could (and intend to) sew all of them. I can heartily recommend this book. I've done a lot of "mickey mouse" patterns but these, while simple, do not look as easy as they truly are.

I wanted something for quick quilts. This was not it. If you have never made a quilt, this would be a good place to start. Not much of interest for me, but good for a real newbie.

Wonderful book for beginner quilters or for experienced quilters who just want to do something relaxing and quick that is a modern take on traditional approaches. Clear descriptions for cutting and assembling the quilt, then adding the all-important finishing touches. A must for the new quilter or for a grandmother who needs a quick baby quilt. Lovely colors used in the sample quilts throughout.

This is a terrific book of quilt patterns with designs that are really attractive and perfect for new quilters such as myself. I really like the look of the quilts they designed, putting the bright, cheery fabrics next to solid colors like white which shows them off to their best. It is the look I really like, and while I understand that the choice of fabrics don't have to be the same as the book's selection, it was helpful to get my attention quickly! The instructions are clear and the pictures are vivid and helpful. I really liked all of the patterns and I look forward to making several of them with the new stash of quilting fabric that I am rapidly accumulating.

This is a great book if you're looking for some quick quilts to make - especially if you have a lot of pre-cuts to use up. I'll add it to the library and definitely make several of these, which are perfect for crib, lap, or gift quilts. Beautiful ideas and fun, easy, colorful quilts! That said, this is not for beginner quilters, unless they have another very thorough “how to make a quilt” book. There are no quilting instructions or finishing directions included, as noted by other reviewers. I think I could have saved some money by getting the Kindle version, but then it wouldn't be in the library! Nice big photos of the quilts, but it's more of a phamplet than a book I think.

The patterns range from very beginner to more complex, though everything is within reach even for a new quilter. Not as complete in that the patterns refer you to a website for tips on binding and quilting your quilt, instead of including General Instructions in the book as their "3 Times the Charm book 2" does. Still, gorgeous fabrics and easy to follow instructions.

The authors offer down to earth advice on choosing fabrics. Great for fat quarters and other specialty cuts. They may be simple to piece quilts but they look quite impressive.

Disappointed with this book. Every pattern is lap size: not a twin or full or queen. It is ok for beginners in quilting, but I am not interested in lap size quilts!

In an attempt to deplete my fabric stash, I bought this book. So far I have used 5 of the patterns. These quilts are for Project Linus and other charitable organizations. The patterns are quick, easy to piece and look good. I will be purchasing other books by Me and My Sisters because of the ease and beauty of the patterns. PS My stash is disappearing!

Disappointed with the quilting instructions. Very small print, hard to read. I don't have young eyes, which could be some of the problem, just disappointed!

very good for quick little quilts

The fabric requirements are very overstated. Especially the backings. An inexperienced quilter is going to end up buying far too much fabric. I guess it could be noted that a "stash" will be accrued by the end of the prroject.

Just flipped through the book and have decided to one or more of each quilt. Some for gifts and others for donation.

I have been using this book for inspiration in making hospital comfort quilts. Some Patterns I have liked so well I used them for my own quilts. My sister liked this book too and bought one for herself. I would recommend this book if you want fast and pretty results.

I’ve worked on just one pattern and am in the process of finishing it. The book does not clearly explain the finishing steps of the quilts. You have to go online and try to find the specifics of the last steps. Should have included those details in the book.

Love this Book. Patterns are very easy. Explained very well and pictures are very pretty. Definitely recommend this book to everyone both Family and Friends. Seller was great got my order out on date expected. Packaged very well. Thank you Mary Lou

all patterns almost the same. over priced .

Great ideas for a beginner or for fast quilts to make. Easy to understand instructions. I will try these ideas with my stash.

This was a gift for someone and she was so appreciative to have these patterns. Arrived in perfect condition and quick mail time.

Its very basic patterns, good for a beginner probably. I like to have it on hand for my grandkids or to teach with.

Well written and easy to follow . I am loving this book already.. I am planning many easy quilts for my future

Love it so glad I ordered it, I did have to track it to the hallway as it was delivered to the wrong apartment

Can not thank you enough for your fast service and wonderful how to book. I will get a lot of use out of this one,

The patterns in this book are easy to follow but produce beautiful quilts. I would say that in this book you can find something for all skill levels.

My daughter is making her first quilt from this book and really enjoying quilt making. Several great projects in this.

Love this book. It shows you step by step on how to make a quilt. From beginning to end

I intend to use these patterns to make charity quilts, but these easy-to-follow patterns would be great for beginners or those looking to use precut fabrics.

Wonderful, easy and colorful book for beginner quilters. Makes quilting fun and easy. This book sells out over and over again in our local fabric store.

I like the way the instruction are easy to understand, nice ideas and I think the quilts are well designed.

Wonderful book. I cannot wait to start cutting and sewing! I will be getting more books by the Two Sisters.

Simple, fun quilts that are perfect for beginners. You’ll still need instruction on basic finishing techniques, but this book will help you stitch up great quilt tops quickly.

Another great quilt book from Me & My Sister. Quick & Easy!

Great book, wonderful pictures can’t wait to start making a quilt.

Nice quilting directions for quick construction of modern quilt tops

Great, simple and easy.

If you are looking for a quick quilt, this is the book for you! Cute patterns for kids and adults. I've used this several times since I got it...the patterns are easy to adjust to u our unique taste. Thumbs up!

great ideas

Like the simplicity and different quilts that feature the border designs.

This isn't a book, it's more of a magazine, expensive magazine, was hoping for more ideas

This quilting book is perfect for beginners. I've learned so much from it. So glad there are beginner books available. Really appreciate the authors for taking the time to do this book. We all have to start from somewhere. My "Happy Room" is my sewing room!!!

Fun quilts with tons of easy to follow instructions. Great for beginners!

Great book

I love the book. My bestie and I are going to make some of the quilts.

Great resource

Great books for 10 year olds

Love these books

Great for beginner quilter!!

It's a good book for the beginner. Simple quilts.

good book....love the patterns and content...but as a new quilter I found it difficult to follow and have not yet tried the quilts in it yet...may have nothing to do with the book or the authors of the book....just need more practice and classes for the reader

I enjoyed this book because every quilt provides inspiration for another quilt. I refer to this book often a major part of my quilt library.

Cute book of easy to do quilts for beginners!

It was ok. Some good information, but only the basics

I can't wait to make these quilts!

The quilts are easy and pretty but why are they so small? I want to make queen size quilts and this makes the math quite challenging.

Quick and easy to make. Great to make for a baby shower. I love Me and My Sister Designs. Great for beginners or experienced quilters.

as described

This is a great book with a lot of great ideas!

Good ideas

Loved it. Makes the idea of quilting easy and doable....As a beginner you are skeptical, these simple quilts take the fear our of a project.

easy

like

Gift for a new quilter.

Love the step by step instructions. Make's it so easy for the beginner quilter.

I really like this little booklet with great pictures and directions.

Nice colorful pictures in this quilt book, Quilt patterns look like the directions are good to follow. I have not made anything from this book yet but I am planning to in the near future.

I was looking for some new ideas in quilts . something a little more than a beginner but not real good yet either. the book did give me some ideas.

Bought for my mom. Her big thing is, she needs pictures. She is still new.

I am new to quilting and was looking for something that I could understand and learn easily. This book was the answer. It was easy to understand, delivered on time and in fantastic condition. Thanks.

Did not like the pattern

Not what I expected

Book is is printed on quality glossy paper. Loads of projects to make with clearly written instructions plus oodles of photos.

Some were too simple but great if you are just beginning. Really liked last 5 as these were more creative but still easy.

Love books by Me and My Sisters

This book is very easy for the beginner to understand. I found the quilt I want to make and I am excited to start.

I chose to rafe this boom great because I have gone from bed quilts to lap quilts, lap quilts are easier as gifts than bed quilts.

All Good

"Me and My Sister Designs" is always right on. Good instructions,great patterns

Local quilt store had used one of the designs as as a sample quilt, but they were out of the book. The quilts are simple, but look great.

Easy to follow directions.

I just got this book yesterday. I have been collecting the rolls of fabric (2.5" x 43") and this book seems to be made for that exact fabric! I can't wait to get started!!!

Have used the patterns in the book

This is a good reference book for quilts to be made in a hurry.

Loved having it on my tablet after purchasing the printed copy! Can refer to it when out of town. A great benefit of having a PRIME account.

Like the book because the quilts are simple and I make give away quilts.

very doable projects!

I love this book The pictures and color combinations are beautiful I am new to quilting . The patterns look simple enough for me. Now I just need to get to work

Fab book! Fun & easy with the WOW factor. I've been quilting for some time now, and it's nice to make quilts with less complications at times. I love the book, and would certainly tell others to get it!

I love this book!!

I bought this for one quilt pattern but after looking at several of them, they are all easy and have their own charm!!

I got several good ideas and methods for quilt making in this soft covered book. I would recommend this to future quilt makers.

Love these books

I like the look of a white quilt, that is why this book caught my eye. Beginner book........not sure. I would recommend!

This has some very easy & pretty quilt patterns in it. I'm glad I bought it. I've already made one of the quilts.

I love this book! It's gorgeous, I love the cheerful bright color fabrics they used, and the quilts are very simple yet very cute.

This is perfect. It's diffently and good book for beginners

Very nice book.....easy to follow patterns. I love the quick and easy quilts featured in this book.

Good ideas for simple quilts.

exactly as expected, thank you.

Nice book

I'm a beginner quilter and these are easy enough even for me but they look great.

Totally thrilled with my purchase. Super fast delivery and great CS. Highly recommend.

Good ideas!

Not what I thought. Good for someone who already has some experience.

Super ! Great patterns !

this book was just what I was looking for, patters that were good of a begging quilter like my self and I received the book quickly.

good book for the beginning quilter. Great for kids quilts,

Love this book, bought it sight unseen, I wasn't disappointed.

Excellent for quick quilts using some of your stash.

Interesting wanting more

Like

I had a quilt kit and needed a specific pattern that it was in this book.

This is a good quilt book every pattern is fast and very easy!

Lots of really easy quilt patterns.

Lots of great ideas and great pictures.

This is a very helpful book for patterns for the new quilter. The styles are easy to master and the instructions well written.

book has several fast and easy quilts that would be fun to make and give as gifts. would be good to make as donation quilts.

Easy instructions. Does not tell you how to bind or finish the quilts.

Love this book!!

great ideas

excellent !!!!!

Quilting

For a quick quilt idea these are great

These are easy patterns which gave me a starting point for designing simple lap robes for a prayer shawl group.

Easy to use reference guide for creating simple quilts effectively.

Great patterns easy enough for beginners.

wonderful

Great transaction. Great book.

Great instructions

Great for beginners.....easy patterns...something for everyone!

good for a beginner

Very good book

Has some patterns for beautiful quilts that are easy to make. Instructions are understandable and photos are clear.

Great book for beginners with easy instructions.

I was appy with my purchase . It arrived in a timely manner.

good book!!

I don't like buying quilt mags or books from the internet but this one sounded great. When I got it I was disappointed. It is very simplistic and boring. I could have gotten the patterns free online. I will stick with my policy of not buying quilt or craft books online.

A fun book, can't say there is anything new, but I do love the items shown and I have new ideas about colors to use in my projects.

I can get so many ideas from this book.. Thank You, thank you, thank you. I'm happy, happy, happy, happy.

I know I would love this product if I could see it better I will be sending the kindle back due dim lighting and small screen

I liked the book, the quilts are simple but beautiful and easy to do. I plan on doing many of them.

Wish I could have seen the projects before buying...wouldn't have bought it....there goes 9.99 down the drain..won't be buying this type of book online again

thank you

Such a fun book. I took it on a quilting weekend with my friends and everyone ordered it. The patterns are fun, easy and the pictures are great.

Great ideas and easy describes this wonderful quilt book. Price is reasonable,too!!

Love quilt patterns from M and Sister. Funfabrics.

I am new to quilting and thought this book was going to help me with 101 quilting. The book is colorful however has very few options for quilting ideas. Further, it assumes that you know quilting vernacular and several steps in the process. If you are new to quilting, this is not the book for you.

It was a Christmas gift......

Wonderful yet simple quilt patterns.

great book.

The contents are for real beginners. I was expecting the next step up in difficulty.

Just OK

This book has instructions for 12 striking quilt designs using very attractive fabric. I love the way these ladies add on new piecing techniques as you progress through the quilts.

Great book.

Love the simplicity of the quilts.

This is a very easy to understand book for the beginning quilter. The designs are fun and my first project turned out beautifully. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning to make quilts.

Didn't care for quality of book inside or out. Written for 6 year skill .

Excellent

I definitely like all the different blocks in this book, and I plan to try some of them in the future.

It wasn't what I was looking for, so I returned it. The patterns are simple if you don't read the convoluted instructions.

making a quilt soon from this book

Great for a beginner like me.

Love love love these ladies the quilts they design are impeccable and the fabric sets they sell are just brilliant

Way overpriced. Cute fabric with uninspired designs. No directions for finishing. I've found better designs and more comprehensive directions free online.

It is just like the title says. Simple and easy to follow. Very colorful pictures and quite thorough with details.

This book just did not meet my expectations because of the price I paid for it!

A very good book for beginnings like me THANK YOU

I modernized one of the patterns and It turned out great. Just by putting more solid with the initial pattern. Love this book

I was not impressed with this book at all. I want to return it but it is just to much of a hassle.

This book has patterns to create several simple quilts. It does not provide much direction on actual knowledge that you need to quilt. For example I made one of the first quilts and it came out beautifully; however when I got the the actual quilting, I realized the picture in the book had a much more complicated free-motion quilting than I was able to handle. Simple starter quilts usually have you quilt in the ditch, but this had a lot of open space, a notation that free-motion quilting would be needed would have been nice. . More direction in this area would have been nice. Overall a great book if you have a clue and want a several patterns at your finger tips consistently.

easy to follow

I received this book as a gift and the pictures are lovely but the instructions are lacking making these projects not so "Simple". A Website is mentioned to get further instructions to finish Quilts but I was hoping to have this all included in the book to save time.

Great beginner quilts with a good variety to choose from.These would make good quilts to give as gifts to children.

This is a great book for beginners. Making one of these quilts will give you a sense of accomplishment, knowing that from beginning to end it is fun and the directions are easy to understand. I am a quilter with 30 years of experience and I don't always want an involved quilt. I am presently making a baby quilt from one of these patterns. It is going quick for me and I am really enjoying my quilting experience. Thank you for this book. I love it!

The English Shouldn't it be Simple Quilts by My Sister and me?

Great book. I have made several beautiful quilts from the book. Great for near beginners.

The quilts are quick but obviously while the author masters sewing, math isn't a good skill. I made quilt 10 .... Even by the authors instructions, their measurements are incorrect. Just annoying.

Love this book
