I am brand new to quilting so this book was the first place i turned to. It really helped me get my first quilt completed. It explained everything from the type of thread and fabric to use to the different kinds of batting, plus gives you a bunch of projects in the back from begginer to advanced. Highly reccomended!

I purchased Quilting for Dummies when I was first getting into quilting, and I found the instructions easy to follow and quite informative. Each project is well laid out and detailed enough to grasp at the first try.
My only disappointment, was that I wish that they could have spent more time on block making, and less on the applique technique. Frankly, I thought the text was spread a little thin on the block creation portion, and they spent a little TOO much time on Applique, which would easily be been worthy of a separate volume. Overall, this peeve aside, this is an excellent and easy-to-follow reference book for quilters of beginning and intermediate skill levels.
