The best book I've found so far on quilting techniques. Clearly written instructions for all kinds of techniques, with helpful photography and even clean formatting, which makes the step-by-step articles even better. I've been quilting for a year, and this book has become my go-to paper and ink resource. The best book I've found so far on quilting techniques.

This book was given to me because I made it known that I am a beginner quilter.
Ok, so I didn't read this full book word for word, but it does have a LOT of useful information. So I am putting this on my read list, because it will be a used as a reference book as I learn to quit.
I recommend this to other beginner quilters out there. This book was given to me because I made it known that I am a beginner quilter.

This is a comprehensive LEARN HOW TO MAKE A QUILT book. A must for every quilter's reference shelf. I do think they need to update the book as new techniques have been developed over the last 10 years that needs to be included. I also would like some chapters on fast piecing techniques because I am into making charity quilts and need faster techniques. But, as I said before it is a MUST HAVE BOOK.

Chapters:
Tools Notions and Supplies
Fabric and Color
Planning Pieced Blocks ( drafting)

This book is great with color photos and some step by step instructions. It is not dummy proof though and I still found myself rather thoroughly confused at times. Definitely not as easy as it looks!

Excellent reference book. This book has the most clear, complete, and concise instructions of any quilting books that I've read. Excellent reference book. This book has the most clear, complete, and concise instructions of any quilting books that I've read. ...more

Love this! It's so thorough re: quilting techniques. I wish that it had a bit more in here re: modern quilting, however. Love this! It's so thorough re: quilting techniques. I wish that it had a bit more in here re: modern quilting, however. ...more

This book is so helpful. Practical advice about every step of quilting. Lots of photos of the steps being described. I cannot recommend this book enough for those interested in quilting.

This is a great reference book for both hand and machine quilting. It's not written in a particularly *fun* way, but it's never failed me when I looked something up in it.

Almost overwhelming amount of data. However, will be quite useful on my journey to figure this whole "quiliting" thing out. Almost overwhelming amount of data. However, will be quite useful on my journey to figure this whole "quiliting" thing out. ...more
