Product Description
YOU can quilt! Learn from one of the best as Alex Anderson guides you through 6 simple rotary-cut projects.
Amazon.com Review
Alex Anderson, host of HGTV's Simply Quilts, makes quilting easy and appealing for first-time quilters. In this slim volume, Anderson explains about tools (from the rotary cutter to the iron to the sewing machine), fabric selection and preparation, and basic techniques needed to begin quilting. She then offers simple but good-looking projects to utilize your newfound skills. Once you've learned the preliminaries of cutting, pinning, stitching, pressing, and finishing, you'll be ready to make any (or all) of the six quilts in the book: Rail Fence, Nine Patch, Log Cabin, Friendship Star, Flying Geese, or Sampler.

 NIce starter book July 26, 2008
I bought this book because I was going to a class give by Alex Anderson and I wanted her to sign something for me. Then I gave this book to an Aunt as a gift. My Aunt loved it and it has been good for her as a beginner quilter.
Best Beginner Book February 1, 2008
I love this book. As a beginner quilter you must have this. It is clear, easy, and has wonderful instructions. I still grab this book when my mind goes blank....I give it 5 stars.
Start Quilting with Alex Anderson September 26, 2007
I used this book in a small group who met and got together to quilt. Since we are of all levels of quilting and sewing, we used this as our beginners project and are all glad we did. Turned out to be wonderful for all of us. Great instructions and photo's making it easy for those of us with all levels of experience. We all had a ball doing it too. Bravo to our group. We keep pushing ourselves on to do more and more and love it all the time.

I purchased Start Quilting with Alex Anderson: Six Projects for First-Time Quilters, 2nd Edition, and have made the first two projects. As a very beginner quilter, I found her instructions to be very clear and understandable. I look foward to working on the next projects in the book.

I thought I knew a lot about home sewing since I've been doing that for over 35 years but I was always afraid to try quilting. I found this book and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try quilting, but unsure quite where to start. The instructions are great and easy to follow. The text is well-written and easy to understand and the photos/drawings used for examples are great. The book gives you a great variety of starter projects to choose from, along with fabric and design suggestions . I'm proud to say I'm nearly finished with my first project from the book and I can't wait to try my next one.
