5 Stars Quilt patterns with cutting instructions
This Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns illustrates ‘basic’ or familiar patterns. Each pattern is illustrated by an actual quilt, and includes patterns/templates, fabric requirements and piecing instructions. Great for beginners and expert quilters. A wonderful additon to any quilters library.

5 Stars Buy it!
I own this book and would never part with it. It is a comprehensive encyclopedia of patterns, along with directions and pictures. I donated many quilt magazines to Goodwill after purchasing this book, because it is all you need. There are more patterns in here then you could make in 1 lifetime! I enjoyed the full color photos and added directions on how to change the size of the quilts from wall-king size. Also, it has both rotary and template piecing directions.
