Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Designed for the beginning, intermediate, or impatient quilter, 19 pieced-quilt projects are featured in The Weekend Quilt. Carefully chosen for their simplicity, they lend themselves to the strip-piecing method which is the key to their quick assembly. Good color photographs show the finished product. Project chapters provide clear instructions and diagrams, yardage, color suggestions, and lists of notions. Introductory chapters offer a glossary, guidelines for fabric choice, and quilting techniques. Assuming the reader can machine-sew a straight line, a top can be assembled and the quilt prepared in one weekend. However, finishing will take up other weekends, and Linsley offers basic instructions. An excellent choice for public libraries. Mary Hemmings, McGill Univ. Medical Lib., Montreal

measurements off,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Weekend Quilt (Hardcover)
Good ideas, but be careful and use some of your math skills. Some of the cutting measurements are off and I didn't realize it until I had already cut and started sewing. Wasted time and money.

Great book for beginners!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Weekend Quilt (Paperback)
My first quilting projects were from this book. It is very basic and the designs are pretty. It made me feel successful. The designs can be changed by using a variety of fabrics. My only criticism is that the yardage requirements are VERY generous. Always have fabric left over.

One of the best for beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Weekend Quilt (Paperback)
Easy-to-follow instructions make this book great. Just watch out for the "Shadow quilt." I had trouble with the measurement of the pieces!
