4.0 out of 5 stars Looks hard but very easy to do!, July 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Border Workbook: Easy Speed-Pieced and Foundation-Pieced Borders (Paperback)

Want to make your quilt look really special - piece the border. This book has quick piecing techniques to make complicated borders that are actually very quick and easy to rotary cut and stitch. Great for the beginner, intermediate or advanced quilter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Speed Pieced and Foundation Borders, April 22, 2000

ann a. (Pa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Border Workbook: Easy Speed-Pieced and Foundation-Pieced Borders (Paperback)

The illustrations and directions in this book have taken the mystery out of the puzzle of pieced borders. The same way Simply Quilts broke down the mystery and showed us the magician's secrets, we can now get past solid 4" strips of fabric for our borders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots and lots of patterns, August 31, 2005

brnbear (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Border Workbook: Easy Speed-Pieced and Foundation-Pieced Borders (Paperback)

When making a quilt, I'm usually so anxious to get the quilt done that I don't spend time to make a nice border. But this book changed my mind about that. It's full of border possibilities with clear instructions.
