Customer Reviews

Excellent Starting Point...

I just recieved this book and think it is an excellent place to start for someone just starting out and building a stash. I also think it could be helpful to the more experienced quilter who is looking to put that extra "sparkle" in their quilts with the use of color.

Relax and LISTEN to Alex...

We all start out life as little artists. All parents have at least one wall with crayon to testify to this. Yes somewhere along the way that little artist gets lost. The joy of getting 64 crayons is too much, so when faced with a fabric store of 1000's of colors, people need to reconnect with their love of colors and that is where this book succeeds.

Really Helpful

I have been quilting for many years and have never found a book as helpful as this in choosing fabric. It can be very intimidating going into a fabric store and seeing thousands of bolts of fabric. Alex's book gives great advise on picking out a focus fabric and going from there. I would recommend this book to beginners and experienced quilters alike.

Packed with important shopping tips.

Alex Anderson's Fabric Shopping displays seven projects and advises on choosing perfect fabric combinations for projects. From basics which should be in every quilter's drawer to guidelines for buying, this packs in important shopping tips.

Quilter Expertise Pays Off

I have seen Alex on "Simply Quilts" and she is the perfect host. Fun, charming and friendly, her shows are informative because of her vast quilting knowledge. Choosing fabric almost always means spending hours and extra dollars on too many yards of unnecessary colors. Alex's advice is clear and concise. Her tips are helpful and keep me under budget (for a change). Thanks Alex. Waiting for the next book!
