As always with Debbie Shore, this book is simple to understand and has great projects. This time she is talking quilting, with tips and techniques from the beginnin to the end of your quilting project. There are several projects, bags, table runners and of course a traditional quilt. You can use your scrap fabric for the smaller designs, but the Humbug Hexie Quilt which is the last project really does cry out for something special. It is beautiful. The book begins with advice on tools, threads and fabric and continues with 'how to' on sashing, binding and sandwiching your projects. Each method is accompanied with a written guide and completed with step by step photography in full glossy colour. I always recommend Debbie Shore, she is a perfect teacher for the beginner but also the advanced stitcher will be able to use her expertise to revisit long forgotten techniques. There are full sized templates included to hjelp you and I guarentee that your project will have a professional and beautiful finish. 5/5
