This book is perfect for the beginner to interm quilter. Each chapter presents some new key concepts and then incorporates in them an attractive quilt. The book is full color with loads of photographs showing what to do.

I bought this book prior to making my very first quilt. I discovered a treasure! The directions were clear and consise. The diagrams and pictures were useful. The quilts listed in the book appeared to be easy to make (I only did one - Incredibly Cool Cosmic Rocket Ship - and it was very easy to do). The directions can apply to projects outside of the book. I still refer to this book for quick tips and directions. I definetly recommend this for beginning quilters. Experienced quilters may find it useful as well.

This handy volume is a near-must own for beginners and beginning intermediate quilter's. However, the instructions included must be approached with care. Unfortunately it is usually necessary to slightly adjust the instructions to complete the quilt properly (which may be difficult for real beginners). The half-square units quick-piecing method is a ridiculous waste of time and fabric. The quilt's included are great and I refer to my copy frequently for inspiration.

This was the first quilt book I ever bought. Designed to be a teacher's book, it is a must for any beginning quilter. It teaches you the basics, from quilting tools and the proper way to use them, to piecing techniques. There are a lot of beautiful quilt patterns, for beginners to advanced, which you will have become by the time you finish this book! Definitely a "gotta have"!

I found this book to be very informative and a pleasure to read. I feel that my future in quilting is going to be made much easier.

The item I ordered arrived exactly as described in a very timely manner. I would definitely order from this vendor again. I'm thrilled to pieces with my purchase.

This is a handy book to have when you are just learning to quilt or just need a quick reference book. I have recommened it to several friends.

This book is nicely detailed for all the sizes of quilts. Plenty of pictures showing how and plenty of tables with information depending on what size you make. I really like this book as a reference for how much fabric to buy.

Excellent book for beginners to intermediate quilters. Good step by step instructions and diagrams. Clear advice, and progressive designs.
