4.0 out of 5 stars Innovative January 10, 2007

By Rae

Format:Paperback

Innovative quilting techniques that really work. I wish the authors had included instructions for an actual quilt rather than just small projects. Special supplies are required for cutting, pinning, basting, marking and fusing. The investment in supplies is well worth it though, if you plan to complete multiple projects.
