Summary: A great reference and learning tool for beginning quilters
Comment: A wonderful reference and learning tool for anyone who wants to learn to quilt without classes. Teaches the reader how to choose fabric color, what hue and texture means, making templates, machine and hand-piecing, machine and hand quilting, assembling your quilt and a complete review of quilt supplies. It should be called, "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Quilting, but Didn't Know Who To Ask." It is a book you can depend on for the answers. The description and step-by-step photos of the hand quilting stitch is excellent.

Summary: I couldn't even sew, but I made my first quilt!
Comment: I have never learned to sew. Well, not really. I have hemmed my pants and reattached my buttons, but that was my entire sewing repertoire before I got a wild idea to start quilting. I bought three different books, all of which were helpful in their own ways, but this book made it possible to start and complete my own project. It has everything from quilting vocabulary musts and the necessary tools to stitching techniques. I can't say enough good things about it!

Summary: Gave me courage to try!
Comment: I had sewed clothing years ago and attended a 1-day beginning machine quilting class but still didn't feel very confident. We didn't do any piecing at all in the class, and I really didn't know where to begin with a "real" project. I really wanted to make a baby quilt for two close friends but was afraid to start. This book came to the rescue! After skimming through the book I learned about how to calculate fabric requirements. I learned how to use a rotary cutter properly to cut straight on the grain of the fabric, and got great tips for cutting and piecing quickly. I refered to the book numerous times for guidance while putting together a baby quilt pattern I found on the Internet, and then used a pattern from the book to create a quilted pillow for a Christmas gift for my Mom. The book has great tips for everything from what you need to get started to creating your own bias or straight-grain binding strips and putting that final touch on your first project! I will probably make many of the projects given within the book, although I must say I wasn't fond of the fabric choices in the color photos; I used VERY different choices in my own projects and was extraordinarily pleased with how the patterns came together. If you have ever wanted to know more about quilting and are thinking about taking the plunge, this is the book for you.
