I like this book enough I've had it borrowed from the library 2 1/2 mos. It's a helpful resource to figure out what I'm doing wrong quilting. I will probably never have enough time to be an adventuresome quilter so I don't think I need to buy it. (My small/simple projects are getting better thanks to some of the tips included)!

This is one of the best quilting books I have read. Patty takes you through the correct way to construct piecing units and blocks and diagnoses and solves common problems. She is targeting a very professional level of quilt making. I have added tips to my construction notes.
