Customer Reviews

Great book for beginners!

I never quilted before and thought I'd teach myself. After looking at several quilting books, I found this one to be the most helpful in describing exactly how to quilt - from how to use a rotary cutter, to how to baste the layers together. This is a MUST HAVE for any new quilter. I also enjoyed the simple patterns - I was able to make a nice quilt on my first attempt!

Buy This book!

I recieved mine today and unlike a lot of other quilt books out there, this book has many different quilts that I will make in the near future. This has very clear directions which is great for the beginner such as myself.

Misleading cover

The quilts inside this book are much prettier than the way they appear on the cover page. I wanted to make each and every one of them!

The best beginner's book

I made my first quilts using this book --about five of them so far. The instructions are clear, the quilts are diverse enough to satisfy every taste--rail fence, Amish, Provencal, bargello, courthouse steps, checks, madras--and they are presented with very attractive hand-colored illustrations in a choice of color ways. I have many quilt books, but this is my all-time favorite. If I had only one quilt book, this would be it!

Quick Quilts To Make In A Weekend

As a beginning quilter I have found the advice and simple quilts in this book amazing. The instructions are easy to read and understand and gives new quilters confidence to complete an entire attractive quilt.
