This felt more like a pamphlet than a book. But it was otherwise very good. There are lots of pictures of quilting using a thimble techniques using both a right and a left hand which I've yet to see in any other quilting book. The quilts themselves are very simple but the patterns for hand quilting are good. Unless I missed it, there are no directions or guidance on how to transfer these quilting patterns to the top of the quilt which is something I'd have loved guidance on. ( )
