All you need to learn to quilt

I taught myself to quilt using this book and totally recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn about quilting. There hasn't been a question I've had that it hasn't been able to answer. Each topic has full descriptions and clear color photos of each step.

Each chapter has its own table of contents, and different color side-of-page labels make the chapters easy to find just by flipping through the book. The chapters are: 1. Tools, Notions, & Supplies; 2. Fabric & Color; 3. Planning Pieced Blocks; 4. Planning the Quilt Top (with blank charts for planning); 5. Cutting; 6. Hand Piecing; 7. Machine Piecing; 8.Hand & Machine Applique; 9. Assembling the Quilt Top; 10. Batting & Backing; 11. Hand & Machine Quilting; 12. Binding & Finishing; 13. Specialty Techniques; 14. Glossary; 15. Index.

I've been to quilting groups where seasoned quilters have been taught new techniques they'd never heard before, and I'd been doing them the entire time because I learned from this book!

Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions @ luboost1@netzero.net. Also, as you probably know, the Amazon.com price can't be beat.

A Solid Quilting Reference

Being still new to quilting, the most important thing to me was to find one GOOD all-encompassing book that could be referred to often for any & all questions about the many techniques, glossary terms, etc.. involved that will come up along the way. After wading through so many descriptions of these types of guide books on Amazon & at other stores, I finally decided to take a chance & purchase this one (mainly because of the consistently impressive reviews) & am so glad I did! This is just a wonderful book by any standards, perfectly laid out, easy to understand & with excellent step by step photos throughout. More importantly though, it has completely de-mystified quilting for this newbie. I feel I've got the best of instructors at my side now & can safely take the plunge into this exciting endeavor with complete confidence. It's also nice that I can now invest the rest of my money into the quilting tools, fabrics & occasional patterns instead of having to waste money on additional basic instruction guides. I believe this one book covers everything needed & will certainly become much dog-eared from use.
