When I was about 10 my grandmother, who lived on the other side of the country, send me a quilt for my birthday.  The quilt was made from my outgrown cloths, from baby cloths to around age 8.  It had taken her two years to make the quilt in the bits of time available to her.At that moment I fell in love with quilts, BUT I have never made one myself.  Always too busy, too rushed, too "something."I was inspired by this fast and easy to read book which gives step-by-step instructions on how to get started.  The first step, getting the tools and supplies (nothing exotic here) is easy.  Buying or procuring the fabric is next.  Then the author takes you through the processes of designing, cutting, sewing, quilting and finishing.The book is illustrated with some great ideas for quilts and is VERY inspirational.  I decided to get started and to use the old clothes I can't bear to throw out!This book is short and inspirational.  I t is illustrated with great photos and step-by-step beginner instructions.  If you need a boost to get a baby quilt, gift quilt or own unique "art" quilt started, be sure to read this book.PS.  I still have my Gram's quilt, decades later!
