You'll notice that we did not include any appliqué in this book. We do love to combine piecing and appliqué in quilts—but this book is devoted to piecing techniques. Please refer to our book, The New Appliqué Sampler, for detailed instructions on hand appliqué.

Like most quilters, we learned to piece quilts before we learned to appliqué. We have never lost our love of pieced quilts. We treasure the skills that we learned early on.

We wrote this book with the hope that it becomes a much used resource book — for beginners as well as for quilters of all skill levels. We have done our best to share with you classic, fundamental quilting skills. Once mastered, these are the skills that you can use in every quilt you make.

If you are a beginner, never fear. We begin with very basic information about color, fabric, and tools. The sewing begins with simple (but pretty!) quilts made from strips. The skills presented are built upon each other, chapter by chapter.

The book is spiral bound for easy use!

There are 15 skill-building projects — and 27 individual quilts inside.

Many of the quilts are made up in 2 or 3 different colorways to give you more ideas!

The pages are filled with beautiful, clear photos to show you exactly what to do. The instructions are precise and easy to understand.
