Review :
This beginner-friendly guide to patchwork and quilting takes a straightforward, basics-and-beyond approach to the quiltmaking process. Experts such as Becky Goldsmith (color theory and fabric choice), Alex Anderson (appliqué and hand quilting), and Elizabeth Hartman (basic piecing, machine quilting, and finishing techniques) take on a specific topic and provide thoughtful guidance and professional-level tips and tricks. Specialized techniques, such as crazy quilting, longarm quilting, English paper piecing, and foundation paper piecing, are also covered. Each section includes a combination of step-by-step instruction and helpful tips followed by a project. VERDICT The breadth and depth of coverage, particularly with regard to beginner-level topics, will be useful to quilters looking for a thorough guide on mastering the quilting basics.-- "Library Journal"
