Veteran quiltmaker and teacher Rosemary Wilkinson, and her quilting friends, give all the information a beginner hopes for— from basic background (how to select fabrics with different tonal values, which hoops and frames work best, what equipment is essential, and so on) to each step through a quilt (proper cutting techniques, chain-piecing, adding borders, and more). Full of diagrams, eliminating all fear of confusion and uncertainty with all fabric yardages clearly stated. The 15 projects are divided into three sections: "Fresh Colors," "Vivid Colors," and "Bright Colors." In keeping with the book’s promise to be colorful, each quilt pattern includes four alternative color schemes to the fully completed, featured one. In addition, dozens of Tips and Notes from quilting experts are scattered throughout the book.

Wilkinson, Rosemary.
