Compact yet comprehensive

This is a short and sweet, compact yet comprehensive guide to making a quilt for the first time. It is an A5 format of just 48 pages, but manages to pack in 1 quilt block, 12 layout options and 4 sizes. This is a superb visual guide to making your very first quilt. It also lies flat, leaving your hands free. It is super easy to follow with very clear instructions and photographs. You’ll learn how to use a rotary cutter, see the tools and supplies checklist, find tips on choosing and preparing fabrics, discover the basics of quilting such as cutting and piecing, making a quilt sandwich and marking a grid for machine quilting. You are then ready to follow the project instructions to make a quilt with or without a border. This book is a little gem for any beginner quilter.
