4.0 out of 5 starsnice quilting finishing touches
By Chris B on September 2, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Nice book with tons of photos, though many of them are the same quilts. I did find a handful of ideas to try. Not so much a hands-on book as it is a display of a variety of quilts and some ideas for finishing touches.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book
By V. Bedford on May 12, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I wanted to learn how to do scalloped edges on quilts. I learned that and also how to do other special edges. I am looking forward to trying out all the different techniques. I think this is an invaluable addition to anyone's quilting library.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Instruction Book
By M. Patteson on December 12, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Whilst this book has great detailed instructions and beautiful coloured photos for completing a quilt, I purchased it, thinking it would give detailed patterns and instructions for borders. It did not have much on quilt borders, much to my disappointment. I would recommend it for people that are new to patchwork and quilting, it has a lot of helpful information!!!

Looked briefly through this book. I thought it would have more information, but it really and truthfully has everything a beginner will need to be successful in her quilting abilities.

3.0 out of 5 starsQuilters Edge
By P. Bray on January 9, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book as some very lovely quilts as examples, but uses the same quilts multiple times. I'd liked to have seen more individual examples.

The color pages are lovely and directions are easy to understand. I had hoped for more ideas, but the ones given are very useful.
