Alex Anderson is among the best in teaching quilting methods. This book is a great teaching tool for children of all ages. Alex really explains each step in detail and I learned some new tricks myself. She stresses safety while working with children as well as self-expression through fabric choices. A great addition to any sewing library!

I love Alex but the book is a little too skimpy with only five blocks to choose from.

I am also surprised at the lack of photos on hand quilting. Hand quilting really needs way more illustrations and not just on burying the knot! Even the section on hand tying lacks illustrations!! If you put it in the book, you should show us how it is done so we can see it. A book on the basics should include the basics!

It is still a good book, but after having both books by Barbara Eikmeier I can say it isn't the best book I have seen on the subject. A nice addition after you have the others.

I purchased this book for my 13yo niece; it was the best buy ever. It is easy to read & the projects are very easy to understand & complete.

If you know anything about sewing, you know Alex Anderson. This is a delightful first look at quilting for the young adult or the young adult in us! Great writing and pictorals.

This book has some good, easy patterns suitable for kids that are beginners. I was hoping for more in the how to instruct kids department. I felt there could have been more in the tips department. So if you're looking for patterns, this would be a good book, but if you are looking for the how to instruct part, I would look for a differnet book. Wish I would have known this before I bought the book, but for the price, it is something that I will keep once my little student gets better at the basics.

Bought this for a young friend of mine. The book was a little more used than I thought it would be, but still served the purpose.
