A Definite Must for the Quilt Book Collection

This book wonderfully and simply explains quilting methods. There are also pictures and illustrations that are very useful and accurate to help with explanations for certain techniques. If you don’t have this book yet, definitely add it to your “learning” library!

It's great!!!

Very happy with the book!! Thank you!!

Simply One of The Best !

Of all my quilting books (and I have tons) this is the reference book I keep coming back to. No matter what you need, this book will give you answers and ideas. If I could only keep one of my quilting reference books it would without a doubt be this one !

Quilts! Quilts! Quilts! is a must have!

As a busy working mom, who likes to do weekend projects, I wanted how to learn how to quilt. I do not come from a quilting family, and though I am a average sewer, the only thing that I had ever successfully quilted (if you even call it quilting) was a very simple gingham crib quilt for our first child. I thought that quilting was simply going to the fabric store and buying some cute fabric, going home and start cutting into pieces. No wonder why I have so much scrap fabric left. I would end up frustrated and have a complete mess! I purchased Quilts, Quilts, Quilts, and couldn't put it down until I finished reading the whole book. It is meant to be used as not only a work book, but also as a resource book. It gives you tons on information on topics such as color choices, fabric choices, and patterns from easy to difficult. Plus much much more! I would recommend this easy to use book as a great starting place, especially if you are like me and have a closet full of unfinished projects that were never finished, because you thought you knew what you were doing, but really didn't. Read the book and learn how to do it. I was totally amazed at what I could do just after reading the book and doing the recommended practice exercises!

one of the best quilting books i have ever read.

a truly lovely book,excellent for the new quilter or the more experienced one. i would refer to it as a quilters bible.

The reference bible for every quilter from novice to expert

With over 2 dozen quilt books in my library, if I could only keep one, this would be it. It clearly and concisely outlines everything you need to know from basic techniques to choosing fabrics. Also has a full range of patterns that covers the gamut with detailed instructions. A REAL winner and worth its weight in bold.

A Must-Have for New Quilters

Now in its 2nd revision, "Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!!" is still one of the best books for beginning quilters. The revised edition contains updated, brighter fabrics. Each technique can be learned as part of a sampler or used to make a complete quilt. Applique section could use some expansion to incorporate several methods to use freezer paper templates.
