Early American Patchwork Patterns: Full-Size Templates and Instructions for 12 Quilts

Summary: Excellent Quilt Book!
Review: I would not call myself a avid quilter, but I am a pretty good one. One of the books I started out with was this one.

In the introduction one will find a crash course in beginning the quilt, types of materials to use, fabric cutting, sewing, setting, blocking and finishing the quilt, as well as preparation of the top, quilting and binding.

The things I liked were the full size templates, color charts, and easy to follow directions. Not to mention it precisely telling you how much of each fabric is needed.

This book is simple enough for the beginner, yet challenging enough for the avid quilter. I'd recommend it without any qualms.
