A complete guide to multiple ways of creating crazy quilt style patchwork, including small projects ranging from easy potholder to complex teddy bear. An excellent resource for the new fabric crafter.

I think I found 'my' quilting book! This had everything I need to get myself started, including lingo and general ideas of things. I like the idea of machine quilting, but I come from and old family who values hand quilting, and this book helps with that.
