If you are looking for quick, easy, and fun quilts to make as gifts - look no further. I think the throw size is perfect for folks in wheel chairs, children's nap blankets, and great for camping when the night gets a little chilly sitting around the fire. Donna & Fran have made the instructions fool proof. Great for beginners, I think these would be a perfect way for kids to start sewing. If you are a skilled quilter, these are no brainers, a few hours and Bam you have a throw Top ready for quilting. I do have to say, I do buy a little extra fabric for binding - I prefer the 2 1/2" binding rather than the economy binding - just my personal preference. I've made dozens of these quilts. I have most of the books - they are all super for doing a quick and beautiful quilt, without the dreaded question "how much fabric do I need to buy?" These really lend themselves to making your own emblishments too - think applique, beading, extra borders if you want a larger throw. Amazing how much fun they are.
