In my opinion, the "Guide" is to quilting what the original 'Vogue Sewing Book' is to dressmaking. In other words, it is 'the' source for a thorough understanding of the techniques involved in this wonderful craft.

The Guide's first section is a 'Quiltmaking Primer.' Here, step-by-step through its chapters and lessons you learn how to handle fabric; understand and draft quilting blocks; cut and place templates, learn the basics of hand and machine piecing; study and design quilt layouts; and finally how to finish your quilt.

In the Guide's second section, you are taken beyond the basics as your explore in greater depth patchwork, appliqué, settings and borders and many more quilting techniques.

Throughout this wonderful journey of discovery, Fons and Porter give numerous tips and suggestions that will prepare you for exploring the many different avenues open for quilters today from the traditional to the abstract and from blocks to landscapes. The basics are all here.

For a firm foundation upon which to build your knowledge of quilting, I can think of no better starting point than the 'Quilter's Complete Guide.'
