 Good but not great April 5, 2008

This is a good book if you can't get any other quilting book or all you want to do is make small projects, like wall hangings or table runners. The information presented isn't any different than what you can get in (for example) Quilter's Complete Guide, and not as well done.
I'd give this a miss if you're a new quilter looking for a teacher in book form.
