Customer Reviews

A wonderful book for any quilter!

Those who are familiar with Jinny's books know how well-written and clear her instructions are. This book is no exception. Jinny's pioneering foray into a new technique is presented in a beautifully illustrated, easy-to-understand book that any quilter would love to own. Along with many photos of stunning quilts showcasing the soft-edge piecing technique, Jinny takes you step-by-step through the process. I was never a fan of applique until I purchased this title and fell in love with the effects of soft-edge piecing. I was also fortunate enough to take the class taught by Jinny herself on this technique, and I can personally vouch for the fact that reading this book is like having Jinny giving you a private lesson, in your own home, at your own pace. I highly recommend this book to any quilter, applique fan or not!
