Summary: Cute book...
Comment: the patterns included in this book will add a folkart-ish touch to any home, especially those with summer cabins. I agree with the previous reviewer's comments. Overall I like the book, especially the quilt on the front cover, the moose pillow, and the black bear pillow. I thought it was refreshing to see some Canadian themed quilts for a change! I could see myself adapting the patterns into a tablerunner or two. By the way, the large quilt on the front cover does have a Canadian flag in it. It happens to get cut off to fit the cover.
The one thing I felt needed improvement, was in regards to the wallhangings....as they didn't feel quite complete when I looked at them, like they were missing something. Each wallhanging is a scene basically taken from a section of the large quilt, and is applied to a background fabric, and then just bound with a bias binding around the edges. The background seems so large in comparison to the scene that it looks almost 'plain-looking'. A suggestion may be to insert either a small border of a coordinating color around the edge, or maybe using up some of your scraps and make a narrow patchwork border before binding the edges.

Summary: Folk art with a natural touch
Comment: The main quilt is shown on the front. Inside the authors have complete fabric requirement and cutting directions for this piece as well as seven smaller projects. These use many of the motifs from the large quilt as well as adding some smaller original elements. The freezer paper method used for the appliqué puts the paper on the right side of the fabric, thereby skipping the tedious tearing out step. These are simple projects, well described and, except for the main quilt, all easily finished in a day or two. Several would be perfect for the man in your life. Many of the motifs would be excellent on vests or jackets.
