    I got mine in 1990. it is a revised issue Lots of color. It's been on vacation for about 10 years but I agree it is great for design and planning. I may have to spend time with it tonight.

    Love that book, too. I belonged to a "Quilt Sitters" club a while back, meeting once a month, and each month one of the blocks in the book was featured. You're making me think I might start another group! :-)
    BTW, I'm an Anne Sharon! altho most of my life I've been called Sharon. Actually, my mother wanted me named Sharon Anne, but my dad persisted, as his mother's name was Anne.

    I have one and love it. I enjoyed watching her on Simply Quilts some years ago.

    I have had this book for several years -- ever since I saw MEH on Simply Quilts. I love her idea of "it's your number, or your measurement." She is so "down to earth."

    I have that book, too. And it's just sitting on the shelf.

    My best friend that passed away afew years ago said that she had a book ( i think it was called ) 350 quilt blocks.
    She said that if I were to get a book to get this one. I think she said that it was from something of birches. I know the company I used to order crochet books from them but for the life of me I can't remember now.

    yes, she is the wild soul of quilting (along with Eleanor Peace Bailey) I heard her lecture 15 yrs ago & still remember her vividly. she has some follow-up books on her PPM (personal private measure).I think her methods are vastly under appreciated. An icon of the quilting world--and still going like the Energizer Bunny.
