A Good Book for Beginners

This is a nice book for beginners because Eileen Westfall gives directions for a number of different blocks and incorporates them into wallhanging size quilts. She also includes directions for making a pillow or tote bag from quilt blocks. Her piecing and project assembly directions are complete and easy to follow. I especially liked her "Tumbling Baskets" Wallhanging made from three basket blocks made in pleasing shades of pink and green.There are also introductory sections on quiltmaking and quilt finishing that are geared toward the beginning quilter. She does an excellent job of explaining techniques in a simple manner. As the Quilting Host at BellaOnline.com, I feel that this is an excellent book for beginners.
