Quilts from the Selvage Edge [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

Quilts from the Selvage Edge [Paperback]This book is worth every penny! The quilts are amazing and they are easy to make. There is a Log Cabin, a Tree-of-Life, Tumbling Blocks, a Pineapple, a Basket Weave, and a Star quilt. Thirteen in all. They look complicated but really aren't! The instructions are clear and simple. You can easily see how these quilts go together just by looking at the step-by-step pictures.

I bought this book a week ago and I finished my first selvage quilt already, a Log Cabin.It came out really well and inspired me to create my own design. What I really like about this book is that you can quickly learn enough to create your own designs.Also, I was glad to see the photo of a selvage quilt after machine washing and drying. It looked fine. So I'm hooked! This is so much fun.

The Foreword by Mark Lipinski (Quilter's Home magazine) is hilarious!

"Quilts from the Selvage Edge" is beautifully done and full of inspiration. Definitely one of my favorites, a 5-star quilting book!
