"Alex Anderson has a dedicated following of fans, and it is with good reason. She explains herself exceedingly well, and makes every step of a project achievable. This 48 page soft cover has 8 easy projects aimed at the beginner quilter. Each of them is small enough to finish easily, but comes with instructions for all bed sizes if you decide you want to be more adventurous. The main focus is on teaching - all of the basics ‘how-to’s are here; clear, simple and comprehensive. Learn to plan, cut, piece, quilt and bind your quilt in easy steps, following sensible advice and helpful tips. The rotary cutting lesson even covers left and right handers, which is very welcome! We are constantly asked for books for beginners – This is ideal!"
