Summary: Great, and I'm a beginner!
Comment: This book has great examples of classic American quilts. I especialy like that the patterns go from simple to more complex piecing so you know what you're getting into! I have never quilted before, and had no problems figuring out how to measure and rotary cut from the instructional section in the beginning. This is a great book to learn quilting as long as you are prepared to supplement it with other sources of info, such as your local quilt shop experts.

Summary: Great book for the fan of traditional quilts
Comment: I really enjoy this book. A helpful feature the book contains is the measurements of fabric needed for any size of each of the designs, which unfortunately some other quilting books I have seen have overlooked. The designs really appeal to the fan of traditional quilts (me) and the instructions are quite clear. I love to just page through it and pick out which ones I'd like to make.
The only thing I would like to see in the book that are in some of Ms. McCloskey's other books are alternate color suggestions for each quilt. One thing that is also confusing is that some important tips are scattered throughout the book - it would be easier to use if they were all in one section.
Otherwise, this book gets my highest recommendation!

Summary: Keep going back for a quick review of techniques
Comment: I judge a quilting book by how often I refer to it after the initial glow of reading something new. This book I keep close by to refer to the techniques for borders, bindings, hanging sleeves, quick piecing and rotary cutting. Classic Quilts arranges traditional quilt patterns from easy to more difficult. I am a beginning quilter and I particularly liked the Accuracy Test exercise on Page 14 so that I could see how accurate my cutting and sewing was before I began a big project. I discovered that my cutting was a little bit slim and my seams were a little bit wide. The companion book I would recommend for more varied projects and in-depth details is The Quilting Bible by Singer.
