The book is written in clear, concise English. They start with the very basics and talk you through each step of which ever process they are talking about. The pictures very effectively highlight the topic at hand, and help you to see what you should be doing. Each new topic builds on the last skill learned. Slowly you realize that you are putting together all of the skills you've learned to that point. It's a brilliantly organized book, with an eye for detail, and a gift for putting just the right action photo in just the right place. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to learn how to quilt, and especially if they don't have someone to help them along, or have minimal help, or a minimal background in sewing.
I am a beginner quilter and was looking for something very basic. This book is perfect, it details every step, great pictures and gives tips on how to do certain things easier. I have been sewing for years but quilting is quite different and this book makes it much less scary. It gives patterns to use or ideas for later. I would have liked the book to go on with a few more projects. I was very pleasantly surprised when I received it and saw what a quality book it was. I looked at a lot of books and magazines before settling on this one because it appeared to truly be for the beginner. So often a book will say it has easy projects when in truth they are for the more experienced quilter.
I have learned a lot from this book, it's great for beginners.

This is a hardback book with large spiral binding. Allows me to lay the book flat open so I can read and observe the pictures and instructions while laying out the quilt. Well illustrated with simple directions. Easy instructions even I could follow.
I bought 2 beginning quilting books for my sister-in-law, one was Quilting 101 which while was larger with twice as many pages and photos, I found this book to have better descriptive wording along with the pictures! I preferred this book.
