Format: Paperback
I found this book to be well written and informative. The quilt patterns range from simple to complex for beginners and the more experienced quilter. For those of you who are beginners, invest in a rotary cutter system for this will make redundant cutting of pieces much faster and easier. I did find that I needed to purchase some extra yardage of fabrics due to my choice in color and arrangements, keep this in mind if you should chose to vary from the colors used in the book. I would have liked to see pointers on how to handle complex intersections in some of the star patterns that would have made them lay nicer. I had to learn by trial and error. (Practice with scraps on these until you feel you have it down.) All in all I found this volume to be well laid out with beautiful photography and helpful. The abundance of available pattern pieces was generous and should keep the reader busy attempting to recreate the wonderful quilts depicted in the book.

I first purchased this book about 15 years ago, Georgia use to do a show on my local PBS station and I had started to quilt with a church group. Time goes by, rotary cutters and mats all make sewing our little projects so much more enjoyable. I love her BIG designs that work up so nicely. Lots of room for creativity.

I love Georgia's books and have been using them for years. I am not interested in creating a few intricate artsy masterpieces, but, rather many beautiful, fun, useful quilts. Georgia's books are filled with ideas to make that happen. I used to hit the library looking for Georgia's books when inspiration was needed. Finally, I realized these were books I well worth owning. Whether you lap quilt a block at a time (and each book in the series gives great instructions for this) or quilt after piecing the entire top, these books will provide more ideas and direction than you can imagine.

My grandmother asked me to get her a copy of this book so she could pass it on. She had recently been asked to teach someone to quilt and she swears by this book as the best way to start out. It includes patterns that can be used for several different quilt designs and it was the book her Alabama mother in law taught her with. The only negative she noticed was that the pictures in the paperback edition weren't as vibrant as her hardcover edition.

Finding this book is like finding an old, long lost friend! I used to watch (and love) Georgia Bonesteel's show on PBS.
I don't have any of the really nice, and really expensive, quilting machines that are available these days and I can't afford to pay someone to quilt for me on a long-arm machine. I wish these options weren't out of my reach because a lot of the work they produce is exquisitely beautiful. The machine quilting I can do on my sewing machine is limited and I find myself wanting to make larger, bed sized, quilts these days. I am so pleased to have been able to find this book on Amazon! I'm just starting a quilt with a design based on an antique and I feel that it really needs hand quilting. I don't have room for full-sized quilting frames so this is a perfect solution for me. Following Georgia's clear, concise, no-nonsense teaching I'll piece blocks then "sandwich" each with batting and a backing and hand quilt each one individually. Then, using a combination of machine stitching and hand sewing, I'll assemble and finish my quilt. Like all quilting, there's no "one size fits all" solution and this technique won't suit everyone's needs or taste. This is an excellent book and the teaching is still as valuable today as when it was written.

I love this book but it is labeled wrong on amazon. It is More Lap Quilting. There is a previous book called Lap Quilting published a few years earlier. If you want instructions on the techniques, get the first book. It will show all the steps. This one assumes you already know them. This is a great way to join squares and smaller sections together using a normal home sewing machine. I think we call it Quilt As You Go now. you basically are connecting seams together to join into a larger quilt. Georgia Bonesteel brought this to the limelight back in the early days of machine quilting.

Georgia's clear instruction and pictures made the quilt-making so easy. It's much easier to work with a small block, quilt it, and then join the blocks together. All the bulk of the quilt is to the left of the sewing machine, so there is no fighting with all that fabric under the machine arm. She also has great instructions for almost any favorite block that can be incorporated with this technique.
