Customer Reviews

You too can read this book and feel like a quilting bee! I love this book because Carol Doak explains every stupid little detail you need to know in order not to screw up big time with quilts. It's not easy to sew all those little pieces together and have them come out symetrical. If you wack off the excess with a rotary cutter, (which seems pretty fun at the time), the block is the wrong size. Carol has a gentle and humorous voice and this book must be written at about the third grade level because even I understand it. I like the black and white shaded diagrams because it's easier to keep your colors straight if you use different color combinations for the same quilt. Best of all, there are simple projects in this book that are beautiful and truly suitable for a beginner. I made a variation of the simple stars quilt for my Mom for Christmas and she loves me again. My daughter has been whining for one of her own ever since she saw Grandma's. I ironed on wonderful antique photos of four generations of mothers and daughters in the star centers--which made the quilt an instant family hit. As a result, Mom loves me second best of all the kids again, although she probably still loves my brother the best because he bought her the weed wacker she wanted for Christmas and she always liked him better anyway.

I have never learned to sew. Well, not really. I have hemmed my pants and reattached my buttons, but that was my entire sewing repertoire before I got a wild idea to start quilting. I bought three different books, all of which were helpful in their own ways, but this book made it possible to start and complete my own project. It has everything from quilting vocabulary musts and the necessary tools to stitching techniques. I can't say enough good things about it!
