Super Easy Quilting for Beginners is a new beginner quilting tutorial and pattern guide edited by Quarry. First released in 2011 as Quilting 101, this reformat and re-release from Quarto on their New Shoe Press imprint is due out 2nd Aug 2022. It's 160 pages and will be available in paperback format.
I liked the layout of this book. Information is presented directly in easy to understand language and the format makes it easy to find info. This is a very basic beginner manual. The introduction includes general instructions for machine usage, tools & supplies, fabric & batting choice, rotary tools & how to use them safely, and everything else readers would need to get started with quilting safely and with a minimum of frustration.
The second two thirds of the book contains the project tutorials and patterns. Each of the projects contains one or more good technique lessons such as piecing, applique, quilt as you go, and paper piecing. The projects are well designed and attractive. Many of them would make lovely gifts and bazaar/donation items for charitable use. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout and the photos are clear and in color. Some few of the color choices are a bit retro (the book was originally from 2011), but a change in fabrics will make them more modern, or left as is for a more classic look.
The pattern templates are included. Tutorials include a tools & supplies list with required fabrics in a bullet list in a highlighted text box, followed by step by step instructions. Required materials are listed with both imperial (American) and metric measurements (yay!). The photos are clear and in color, without hands or tools obscuring construction details. The book also includes a glossary and abbreviated index. There is no supplies links or list, but the necessary materials will be easily available at any big box store, fabric store, or online.
This is a nice addition to the quilter's library and especially for those of us who have generous stash baskets, will provide a very satisfying way to use up some of those scraps. It would also make a good choice for public or school library acquisition, makers' spaces, church auxiliary and the like.
Four stars.

There are plenty of appealing projects in here(I for one can’t wait to try my hand at the flannel lap quilt, flying geese cat blanket, not dolls)
The projects include -
* Raw-edge Applique Hot Pad (a potholder),
* Hand-appliqued Zippered Bag (this one is really cute),
* Quilt-as-you-go Christmas Stocking (lovely, will be working on this),
* Paper-pieced Holiday Coasters (cute, especially as ornaments),
* Nine-patch Pillow,
* Checkerboard Placemats,
* Double Nine-patch Table Topper,
* Pieced Sashing Table Runner,
* Flannel Lap Quilt (so cozy looking),
* Churn Dash Wall Hanging,
* Flying Geese Doll Blanket (great size for a small pet),
* Star Sashing Baby Quilt (so darling)
The patterns are included here and what you’ll need is laid out clearly.
Worthwhile and a recommendation for someone looking to get into quilting, or who wants to make their home super cozy for the fall and winter holidays.

As a self-taught quilter who has been quilting for over 5 years now, I felt comfortable in the basics of quilt making and sewing overall. Nonetheless, I wanted to review a beginner's quilting book to brush up on the basics. This book is PHENOMENAL! I wish I would have had it when I was learning 5 years ago. I didn't gain much new information from the basics of quilting (which was to be expected of course); however, the troubleshooting mistakes section and quilting confidence section had helpful insights that improved my quilting now. I love the idea of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, and that a finished quilt is better than a perfect quilt that never gets done. I really enjoyed these sections, and I would recommend the entire book to new and experienced quilters a like.
Thank you NetGalley, the Editors of Quarry Books, and New Shoe Press for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Super Easy Quilting for Beginners
4 Stars
I've been wanting to make a quilt for years. However, the sheer size of a project that large is so overwhelming for me. Though I do enjoy doing smaller projects, like those that are offered in this book. They fit my current courage level. Super Easy Quilting for Beginners is packed full of great information, projects and patterns. The author does a great job of breaking down each project into manageable steps. The step-by-step instructions make it easy to follow along with. I appreciated the many pictures throughout this book. The useful tips and tricks should make quilting easier.
Overall, I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to sew. I look forward to trying out some of what I've learned. Thank you, NetGalley and Quarry Books, for providing me with a digital ARC for an honest review.

This book is great for someone who has never quilted before but would like to learn, or someone who has only done the absolute basics.
It gives you information about the things you need, including the sewing machine and the accessories to be used with it. It also has a glossary of the different terms used when speaking about quilting.
There are step by step, illustrated, simple and easy to follow instructions to get you started and take you through the basics. Then there are small projects for you to try and these gradually increase in difficulty as you gain skills working through the book.
A great introduction to this craft that is perfect for any beginner.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary digital ARC for Super Easy Quilting for Beginners coming out August 2, 2022. The honest opinions expressed in this review are my own.
I loved this book! I’m a beginner quilter. I’ve made a few quilts, but I’m still learning the basics. I loved all the patterns and the directions make me feel like I can make these! I definitely want to try making the cute stocking and checkered placemats. I also appreciated the basic sewing machine tips.
I’d recommend this book to anyone who is starting out sewing and getting into quilting.

If you have thought about learning how to quilt or if you just want to improve some of your skills this is the book for you. If you are just starting out you would greatly benefit from using this book to help you quilt like a pro. It is full of pictures and diagrams and if you are like me that is a must. The book goes into details about how to make sure you get the most from your sewing machine and how to have all the buttons and dials set to the appropriate settings. It goes into details about the tools you will need such as a rotary cutter and how to use this tool correctly and safely. This book will be by my side as I continue to improve my quilting techniques.

What a great find! I loved this detailed guide to quilting and not only for its gorgeous pictures but for all of its packed features. It goes through a basic machine and its parts, how to tell quality fabrics and where best to cut them, how to quilt for beginners with tips for both machine and hand sewing and many tips and tricks. It taught me some cool things and I already have sewn a couple already! My favourite part has to be the little projects in the back of the book and can't wait to try the Christmas stocking and dolls blanket. A definite buy for my collection.
Many thanks to this author and Netgalley for providing a temporary copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a helpful guide!
Some of the information is high level, but it's a helpful guide to learning more about quilting. I was hoping for more information on how to choose fabric or start projects, but there's instructions for a few projects and how to learn more.
Overall a nice find.
