"Pieced to Fit" is well-designed. Even a novice can follow the careful clear directions. The photography and graphics enhance and guide the quilter through each step. There is a lively energy in the book and a well-ordered path through each design. Plus the Designer's Tips invite you into this great world of creating quilts that our grandchildren will love. Sinclair Snyder's book describes a great accessible technique for borders that work and speeds the process along to a smooth finish.
