1: Quiltingmaking for beginners and experts!
This book is extremely well written for new and experienced quilters alike. It has fabulous photographs of quilts and also instuctive designs in photographic form.
A must as a browsing book or as a book to use and to learn from. Also a book to enhance your handquilting skills

2: Quilting by Hand by Jinny Beyer
Quilting is my passion and this book 'feeds' it. Clear pictures and instructions, exciting use of colour and shading, personal comments by Jinny Beyer. The quilts in the book are not simple to make but can be regarded as a personal challenge to achieve the desired finished product. A satisfying reference book for all aspiring quilters, even if you do not decide to make any of the featured quilts.

3: This book is Exquisite!
I purchased this book earlier in the spring. I look at it almost everyday. I have taught myself how to hand piece and I never for one moment thought that I could. This book is a treasure, if you have the patience to teach yourself and have this book, you will learn to do exquisite work. I also purchased the CD from Amazon and have used it but not as much as the book-it would all depend on your individual learning style. The CD does a wonderful job of explaining and showing you how to create the stitches; I enjoying having both but now find myself using the book more than the CD. I also purchsed the perfect piecer from Jinny Beyer's site (althought at the time I am writing this Amazon has one listed)and this tool is a MUST HAVE if you are going to learn to hand piece in my opinion.
The book is beautiful, well written, includes some historical prespective (but not too much) you will not be sorry you purchased this book.

5: Excellent resource!
I quilt on my own--without benefit of classes or working with anyone else--much of the time. This book has helped me tremendously! Unlike most pattern books, the book tells the details of what it means to sew a certain type of stitch, suggests materials and tools, and even has quotes from older sewing and quilting reference books. Instructions for each process are available in as much detail as I have needed. Plus the pictures are beautiful and it's an added bonus to have patterns in the book, as well. I highly recommend this book.
