As a newbie quilter this book is fantastic.

I am sure anyone who quilts will find this book

invaluable.

The spiral bound book provides

with a quick and easy guide to quilting.

Using pre-cuts makes quilting so much easier.

It's difficult when you start out to be able

to afford all the fabric you would like.

Going into a shop you feel overwhelmed

with the amount of choice you have.

Choosing pre-cuts means you can get a 

fantastic array of fabrics that make brilliant quilts.

The designers take the decisions for you and

put together the fabrics that make amazing quilts.

Once you have the fabric you want to use

you can use the book to help make all the decisions about your quilt.

The book starts by giving you all the standard

quilt sizes including ones with a drop & tuck.

You then have a breakdown of the standard

precut sizes and names.

This is all new to me and it's fantastically

helpful.

It takes the language and makes it easy to follow.

The guide also breaks down how many

precuts you will need for each size of quilt.

You then have diagrams and sizes for cutting

fat quarters into each of the sizes.

From there it sets out how to cut layer cakes and

charm squares.

Then it gives you wonderful tips on

using precuts.

You then have a diagram that details

what yardage is required for borders.

Bonding and backings are then broken down

in various sizes.

I just can't believe how much information

is packed in. It explains binding width

and shows example diagrams of different bindings.

Bias strips, opening seams and offset

are explained.

The back of the book breaks down triangles.

It takes you step by step through

the different designs you can make with them.

The step by step instructions and

sizing graphs make everything so simple.

You can follow each step by step to make

amazing quilts.

This book is fantastic and is a wonderful

information book for any quilter.

I have been afraid of how to work with

my pre-cuts but this book helps make more sense.

I would highly recommend this book.

I'll be using it time and again.

It's useful to any level of quilter.
