Review
In my opinion, the author Elizabeth Hartman hits the nail on the head when she recommends choosing a first project that doesn t have a deadline attached to it (such as a baby shower or birthday . The Practical Guide to Patchwork starts out with basics from selecting cotton fabric, elements of a quilt, common fabric cuts, and tips for planning a quilt. The section on choosing fabrics was especially helpful to me. With all the great cotton prints available in quilts shops and my stash of home decor fabrics, sometimes I struggle with selecting the right combination of fabrics. You ll find a breakdown of basic supplies, piecing techniques, machine-quilting tips, as well as tips for making and attaching binding.The book includes step-by-step instructions and diagrams for 12 modern quilt projects. Each project is made in two alternate colorways to demonstrate the impact that color choices have on each quilt design. As a new member of a modern quilt guild, I m inspired to dig through my stash

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic patchwork handbook,
By
This review is from: Practical Guide to Patchwork, The (Paperback)
This is an excellent reference book for making patchwork quilts. The first section of the book covers all the basics of quiltmaking, from preparing and cutting fabric, piecing the blocks and assembling the quilt to the quilting itself and double-fold binding. All the techniques are clearly described and well illustrated with colour photographs. The rest of the book is made up of 12 different quilt patterns, complete with detailed instructions for constructing the blocks and fabric requirements. This book has been well received in the online quilting community, with good reason - it's clearly written, beautifully put together and well-illustrated. It's ideal for a beginner, but also as a reference for more advanced quilters - and perhaps a source of inspiration to try something new. Highly recommended.

This book does just what it says it does - it is a practical guide to patchwork. Subtitled 'New Basics for the Modern Quiltmaker' this book gives a good ground in practical skills and shows how to put a quilt together. The practical information is solidly backed up with 12 projects for every level of quilt maker. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.
