Around the Block Again: More Rotary-Cut Blocks from Judy Hopkins

If you are looking for a pattern book with blocks of different sizes this is the book for you. I have made many quilts using the series of "Around the Block" by Judy Hopkins. Have never had a problem

I have purchased all the 'Around the Block' books by this author. Her instructions are easy to follow and even a newbie sewer can get stunning results. Makes sewing fun!

Hi i brought this book before seeing any reviews then after i saw some that had been written and was worried id be dissapointed when it arrived .the reviews werent very good for it at all but to be honest i do not know why this is? as its an absolutely brilliant book!! so many blocks to choose from and it gives you all measurements of fabric needed for each block you do wether your doing a small block or a large 1 i couldnt do without it. alot of reviews say you have to use templates mostly which you dont as i hardly use any and it is for rotary cutting as thats the way i do it it is actually for rotary cutting . i have not been patchworking for long i only staryed in september and even though some in the book i darent try yet there are still quite a few i am doing and im getting more and more confident to move onto the more complicated blocks so all in all i give this a 5* rating just like all her other books thankyou so much for reading my review i hope this helps you :0)

I remember buying this book when it was originally published. I lent it to a friend, she moved away and took my book with her. Around The Block Again, is an amazing resource book.

This sequel to Mary Hopkins' first excellent book is no better than OK. For some of the component parts of the blocks, you are referred to a template section at the back of the book. You have to physically measure these components which is annoying, especially since you can cut any of them with a standard ruler marked in 1/8th to 1/4 inch increments. Why they didn't just print the actual dimensions is a mystery. Also, many of the blocks have more than 25 pieces, ridiculous on its own, especially when you realize there are much easier ways to put many of the blocks together into an actual quilt with far fewer seams. All this being said, there are a few interesting blocks in the book.

I am a quilter. I have used a freinds book. Wanted my own.

Very well maintained. Thank you 😊

my quilt group chose an unusual size for a block exchange andJudy's book helped me make these squares. Yes, she is using templatesbut when enlarging or reducing pattern sizes, it is going to enable oneto make the desired block without drafting it yourself. while not abook for an absolute beginner, it has many different traditional blocksand the variety of sizes are the real draw.

It had makeup or coffee all over some centre pages on my around the block by Judy Hopkins

Inzwischen ist mir völlig klar : an Judy Hopkins kommt man nicht vorbei als Quilter. Ich bin immer wieder begeistert von ihren Entwürfen - und immer wenn man denkt, mehr geht nicht, da taucht doch wieder ein Buch auf mit völlig neuen Blöcken, prima, bin total zufrieden

Excellent Book

good book about blocks
