Generations of family members
have handed down quilts that have become family heirlooms. Quilting is a
wonderful way to recycle old fabrics to create new, beautiful, and useful
items, and Basic Quilting is the perfect introduction to this
long-treasured craft.
The book begins with a comprehensive
description of the materials and equipment the new quilter needs, and clear
instructions on basic knots and stitches, all illustrated with step-by-step
full-color photos. Includes background on how to match and care for quilting
fabrics, and choosing the block pattern, piecing, and quilting establish the
techniques a new quilter needs.
