Review McCall's Quilting - December 1, 2008
“In a format small enough to slip in your purse, author Connie Chunn presents over 160 vintage quilt blocks, with rotary-cutting charts for making each in 5 different sizes. That's over 800 block patterns in about the same space as an eyeglass case. Amazing! Check it out at your local quilt shop…”

"I just received this product, and it is a great resource! I especially like being able to size any block shown in a choice of five different sizes. The additional tips in the back are very good also. I would highly recommend this product to any quilter."
