Excellent for beginners and experts too.

In a spare prose the author gives us a short history of the Amish quilt and its characteristics. She then gives some how-to advice that is precious for beginners, and follows up with several patterns for crib quilts or wall hangings that have been re-sized to fit the smaller dimension, which is a great thing. She also gives actual size templates for decorative quilting. I only wish there were more color pictures but for the price you can't expect more than color covers.
