As a newbie quilter this book is fantastic. I am sure anyone who quilts will find this book invaluable. The spiral bound book provides with a quick and easy guide to quilting. Using pre-cuts makes quilting so much easier. It's difficult when you start out to be able to afford all the fabric you would like. Going into a shop you feel overwhelmed with the amount of choice you have. Choosing pre-cuts means you can get a fantastic array of fabrics that make brilliant quilts. The designers take the decisions for you and put together the fabrics that make amazing quilts. Once you have the fabric you want to use you can use the book to help make all the decisions about your quilt. The book starts by giving you all the standard quilt sizes including ones with a drop & tuck. You then have a breakdown of the standard precut sizes and names. This is all new to me and it's fantastically

How many times have you bought a precut and then stashed it away? I know I can see your stash. Unfortunately, I can see mine too. I'll own up to having 5 precuts sitting in my workroom, doing nothing. Action get yourself a copy of this fabulous book. We all love precuts and this book will get them out of your stash and into fabulous makes. It gives you standard quilt sizes for all kinds of beds; standard precut sizes and their names. Then it tells you how many precuts are needed to give six kinds of quilts. This is extremely useful information. The book goes on to show how to cut up your precuts in different ways. I was blown away by this. I am not a very experienced quilter myself, but I think this is of use to any quilter. For example, did you know that you can cut a fat quarter 13 different ways? Borders, bindings and backings are also given along with yardage needed for different width borders. There are easy methods for cutting different triangles, stars and other shapes as well as blocks. You'll find invaluable tips and tricks. It's only 32 pages and it's a small sized book, around A5 size, BUT it is jam-packed full of time-saving knowledge and know-how. A great reference that is so easy to use. I think you are getting a lot for your money here if you are an avid quilter.
