August 03, 2009: Information presented in a Q&A format is intended for the beginning, as well as the more experienced, quilter. This book is invaluable! I consider it a first choice. It covers all of the basics and answers questions any quilter might have. Reducing/enlarging a block pattern, foundation piecing, settings, bindings, and an especially handy chapter on quilter's math add value. The text is easy to read; explanations are concise, but clear. Line drawings very clearly demonstrate concepts. Even the index is well done and easy to use. Great value from a reliable and highly-thought-of publisher. Highly recommended!
