"Quilters Complete Guide"
This is the second copy I have had ,as the first one fell to bits from use! This is beautifully presented book with clear pictures,and easy lesson format,and tells you everything you need to know. The revised edition has been updated, and has an extra chapter covering new things like photo quilts ,finishing bindings .I recommend this book for all quilters,beginners or advanced

"One of the Best Quilting Books I've Found"
I took this book out of the library a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to get my own copy. Marianne Fons & Liz Porter have written a book that is even clear to me! That's an accomplishment! Each quilt in the book starts with the invitation to make one block, in order to learn new techniques. When you've completed all these single blocks you can put them together and have quite an impressive quilt. Instead of having one quilt pattern that you're comfortable with making, you have an entire repertoire!

These women are excellent teachers. They include tips throughout the book. Many diagrams, many clear pictures illustrating the steps. I can't say enough about this book. Whether you're a beginner or an accomplished quilter this book will be an excellent addition to your bookshelf.

"Best Reference book for quilters both experienced and beginner!"
Learn to do all the most important and essential techniques needed top become an expert quilter! The price was exceptionally good -- about one-half that of retail book stores -- I bought 2 copies -- one for myself and one for a fellow quilter. Thanks for the good deal.

"awesome"
I wish I had this book before I ventured into quilting - has everything you need. These gals write just as if they were speaking to you. Easy to understand, lots of diagrams. Great informational and reference book to use for all your quilting needs.

"great for beginners and people looking for patterns"
I recently started quilting and got hooked on the idea when watching Fons & Porter's 'love of quilting' show on tv. This book is soooo helpful. It has lots of great information at the beginning about what supplies, types of fabric, choosing colors, and sewing tips. Then the rest of the book is filled with patterns/designs and how to put a quilt together for each step. If you only buy one book - this is it. I found that you can get a lot of free patterns online so as long as you have a great reference book like this, any other books are just 'fluff'.
