Piecing the Piece O' Cake Way

I am new to quilting and I have to say this book is brilliant. I have found the following instructions and techniques so easy. It guides you through everything., I was astounded by hte amount of information. It covers so much and makes you much more confident quilting. I don't normally take to books so much but this one really does what it says. I love the fact it talks you through everything and gives you so much information at each stage. There are a lot of things I have been trying but have found difficult. I found instructions in the book that have made it so much easier. There are photos and diagrams throughout the book, they are clear and easy to follow. The first part of the book is taken up with all the how to's and instructions. Then it moves onto different quilt patterns and how to make them. I love fact that they even have arrows to help you with your assembly. I haven't seen this in a book before. Even when your are making the quilts they still provide helpful pictures and instructions. If you already quilt then it doesn't matter, you still have all the qilts and designs you can make. I found this book really useful!

I think I will try the sampler quilt to test and practice different skills. Bits and Pieces is also very appealing for trying out new skills. Such a useful book. Recommended.
