Sugar Sack Quilts: 12 Quilts Using Vintage Or Reproduction Fabrics

I really enjoyed the information provided about feedsacks. I was so inspired by the book that I immediately started the little doll quilt on page 88 and I have already finished it. It turned out great. I am a begining quilter found the instructions were easy to follow and I had no problems. I would recommend this book to everyone!
