review 1: If you're looking for a book to teach you quilting and you're not an old blue hair who's interested in making something yet another flying geese/Ohio star/sawtooth quilt, this is a great book. The instructions are clear and the tips are great; things that make quilters argue like the pros and cons of pre-washing fabrics are presented evenly. It's like having a good friend who wants to tell you how to make a quilt. The patterns are varied and interesting, and having someone pay as much attention to the backs as the fronts will give people good habits for the rest of their crafty lives.
review 2: A beautifully-composed look at the basics of quilting. Projects are contemporary and fresh--lots of white and light gray backgrounds to show off clean, brightly-colored... more designer prints--and the language is friendly and approachable. Reads very much like an extended post from Hartman's enjoyable quilting blog "Oh, Fransson!" Won't take the intermediate quilter far, but would make a great gift for someone new to the craft who doesn't want to make "grandma quilts." less
