"Great beginner's book and reference on the basics"
Someone recommended this book to me and I'm so glad they did. I was interested in quilting, but I wasn't sure where to begin, despite having a strong sewing background. The pictures and instructions are straightforward, easy to understand and follow, and logical. This is a great book for beginners, and perhaps it's even a great book to have around if you're an experienced quilter and want a handy reference or refresher course on the basics. I was able to follow what to do even though I wasn't working on a project that was anything like the ones in the book. The directions translate to every type of quilting project.

"Learning to Quilt"
A great begginers book for those who dont have anyone to teach them. Easy to understand and follow instructions, also heaps of handy hints

"The Best Quilt Book"
I originally bought this book for a quilt club I had joined. The "main" person, who is a seasoned quilter, said it is her all time favorite book. I must agree. I currently have numerous "beginner or easy" quilt book, but this is the one I keep going back to. A must have, in my opinion.

"Good basic, book"
This book is a good, but very simplistic book. It was a good start for me, but once I got the basics down, it wasn't as helpful.

"I love this book!"
I was a clueless teenager when I bought this book and I had never sewed a stitch prior to reading this. All I had was a desire to make quilts. I succesfully made a nice quilt my first time by using this book. I've been making quilts ever since. I have other quilting books, but I have an emotional attachment to this one as this is the one I learned on. I still look at it to this day if I want to make a quickie, but I don't use it that often any more as this just covers the basics and once you have those down you wouldn't need this book. If a teen who has never sewed anything before can successfully make a quilt using this book than anybody can.
