Perfect Piecing

This is an extremely practical book.What I really like about it is all the photos. As a beginning quilter, I find it very useful to see the technique illustrated with a photo. With tips on all kinds of patchwork techniques, this book is an ideal second quilting book (with the first book being a more comprehensive book on the entire quilting process, like Fons and Porter's Quilter's Complete Guide). I really like the sections on problem solving in each chapter. I think this book would be useful for intermediate quilters as well (I assume it's too basic for really advanced quilters).

I own several "how-to" books. I always keep coming back to Perfect Piecing because of the clear, straightforward information. I even recommended it to my Mom, so she might start quilting.

I can't tell you how much this book helped me! This is the exact kind of book I needed... just like being in a class or having a personal tutor in sewing pieces! It has chapters on every kind of piecing that you would do with a quilt. Hundreds of tips. Actual full-color photos of someone demonstrating the techniques. Problem-solving tips, skill building ideas. Wonderful!

Buy this book if you want clear, concise, illustrated information on everything you need to know to make a wonderful quilt. I refer to this book often, and have given it as a gift to new quilters. One of the best.
