The Casual Quilter: 6 Stress-Free Projects

Rating:
Summary: great book for any quilter
Review: Whether you are just getting started quilting or have been doing it for a while, this book is a great addition to your library. The author's advice is a wonderful antidote to all the worrisome quilt-police books that tell you that matching points perfectly is the be-all and end-all of a quilter's existence. Ms. Strobel believes in a relaxed and fun approach that lets you enjoy the process and still come out with some very goodlooking quilts. The projects are all written for various sizes, and are very doable, unlike all the ones you see in other books that have you cutting 782 perfect parallelograms from 86 fabrics and sewing them together in complex order in set-in seams. If you want projects that will actually get done, look no farther. As my busy sister says, this book is the "Knitting Without Tears" of quilting--which is high praise coming from a former knitter.
