Book Reviews of The Quilters Ultimate Visual Guide: From A to Z - Hundreds of Tips and Techniques for Successful Quiltmaking

Book Review: Not just for beginners-The Quilters Ultimate Visual Guide
Summary: 5 Stars

I don't think there will ever be the day that I feel there is no more to learn. And so very true with quilting. That is one of the reasons I really enjoy this pastime. There is always something new to learn, you meet great people who may know a different way to do something you have been doing, and they make it easier for you.

Also with quilting, there are so many different techniques, and I have friends who are into trapunto, crazy quilts, English paper piecing and the list goes on. We all find our "nitch" and go with it. This book covers probably the broadest variety of different quilting methods and how to techniques, that I have seen in a long time.

Ellen Pahl did an excellent job of coordinating at least 60 very well accomplished quilters to make this book a must have.

And in her introduction, she expresses the goal of this book. It is much as I have always believed, there are many different ways to do the same thing and as well as there are many different areas of quilting, that some are much more experienced in, and they have been gracious enough to share their knowledge in a format that with the great photos and diagrams.

From A to Z, whether you are new to quilting or have been quilting for many years, this book will have many things of value to you. I just love this book-I know this one will not be collecting dust on my bookshelf!
