Quilting Books

This book is absolutely wonderful. We used it and Quilting 101 to teach our 6th graders. The diagrams and the instructions made it really simple. Unfortunately my copies burned when my house did and I am looking to get another copy.

I found this book when i decided i wanted to tackle my first quilt. Thank god i did. THis is my first project bigger than a tote bag and i couldn't be more pleased. Chances are you aren't going to complete the thing in 7 days if you feel the need to eat, sleep, or make something bigger than a lap quilt. . .but she makes the process is so simple. Steps:Pick out fabric, figure how much you need (it's simplified), tear into strips, cut into squares, mark backs with templates, and start sewing strips together. Sew those strips together and you have a top. Add batting and the backing and booom......quilt! Finishing instructions tell you how to tuft the quilt to finish, but after all that work I think i'll bet you'll want to find someone to quilt the top for you. That's what i'm doin.
Have fun with you first quilt!

This book was bought at full purchase price, but I'd do it again. The photography is outstanding. The examples of the whole quilts excite and dare you to try your hand at creating your own. I do plan on it! I want to find more of Debra Wagner's books.

As a seasoned sewist, I thought I knew it all about rotary cutting - but no! I learned a great deal from this easy to read/follow book. It's a great addition and a great value to your sewing library.

Buy it, you will love it, if you like primitive quilting patterns. It is an awesome book, great patterns.
