Quote: “Piecing together several layers of cloth to make warm garments probably originated in ancient China.”
Step-by-Step Quiltmaking is much shorter than most of the quilting books I’ve seen. It was published by a company famous for short, information-packed nonfiction books for children. In the tradition of books like the “Golden Nature Guides,” it’s less comprehensive than bigger books, but will keep a determined beginner busy for a good long time.
All the usual quilting techniques are covered, at least briefly, except for “cathedral quilting,” in which squares are folded into curved shapes that suggest cathedral windows. For basic instructions on how to cut and join patches, then quilt layers together, this book will suffice.
