WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY

The Perfect Piecing book, Rodale's Successful Quilting Library, is an invaluable resource for the beginner or seasoned quilters. I read it cover to cover and have used it as a guide to making more accurate piecing in my quilt blocks.

The book is a wealth of quilt-piecing information and is full of colored pictures While this book was published in 1997, it is a must-have in a quilters library. I have referenced it multiple times.

Excellent information about the basics of machine piecing most quilt blocks. Very helpful.
