Your First Quilt Book (or it should be!) [Paperback] Review

You too can read this book and feel like a quilting bee! I love this book because Carol Doak explains every stupid little detail you need to know inorder not to screw up big time withquilts. It's not easy to sew all thoselittle pieces together and have them come out symetrical. If you wack offthe excess with a rotary cutter, (which seems pretty fun at the time), theblock is the wrong size. Carol has a gentle and humorous voice and thisbook must be written at about the third grade level because even Iunderstand it. I like the black and white shaded diagrams because it'seasier to keep your colors straight if you use different color combinationsfor the same quilt. Best of all, there are simple projects in this bookthat are beautiful and truly suitable for a beginner. I made a variation ofthe simple stars quilt for my Mom for Christmas and she loves me again. Mydaughter has been whining for one of her own ever since she saw Grandma's.I ironed on wonderful antique photos of four generations of mothers anddaughters in the star centers--which made the quilt an instant family hit.As a result, Mom loves me second best of all the kids again, although sheprobably still loves my brother the best because he bought her the weedwacker she wanted for Christmas and she always liked him better anyway.
