SUMMARY- Her tutorials are clear and easy to follow. She offers a LOT of information to the beginning quilter in this book AND she has a very nice collection of patterns for quilting when you get your top(s) together. Altogether a great book. I can see why mom kept picking up her books whenever she ran across one(she had six of them!).
