this is THE quilting book for anyone doing quilting. Not only are the photos GREAT, but the pattern directions understandable and complete.
Also the tips to save time and effort are just what I need. If you can only get ONE book on quilting, this is the one--and for only about $16!

This book is a great resource for beginners. It walks you through batting choice, prepping and cutting fabric, common blocks and designs, and great step-by-step instructions on binding the quilt. I received the book as a gift when I started quilting and liked it so much that I purchased this copy to give to another beginner.
