Taking the stress out of machine quilting 4 out of 5 stars.
34 of 34 people found this review helpful.

This book has some excellent patterns. Patterns that are a little different, but still viable for a quilter of moderate ability. What I like best about the book is the section on lap quilting. Ms Bonesteel's method of putting the quilt together in strips and then quilting it section by section works out very well for machine quilting, because you are dealing with manageable segments, rather than trying to wrestle with a large quilt at the machine. They can be very unwieldy. While you have more hand work, the results are very neat and professional looking.

Great helps for a beginner 4 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

I am just starting to quilt and this book has lots of information besides lap quilting. In addition to the templates, there is valuable information about yardage and how to bind quilts. It shows how to add ruffles and how to do saw-toothed and scalloped edges. I especially liked the information on how to make continuous binding rather than buying ready made.

Lots of potential here for motivation! 4 out of 5 stars.

I haven't tried any of the projects yet, but there's a lot of variety here! Album quilts, bargello birds, pieceing, patchwork, classic and modern ideas, simple and complicated. Something for almost everyone!

I first purchased this book about 15 years ago, Georgia use to do a show on my local PBS station and I had started to quilt with a church group. Time goes by, rotary cutters and mats all make sewing our little projects so much more enjoyable. I love her BIG designs that work up so nicely. Lots of room for creativity.

Georgia Bonsteel makes it easy. 4 out of 5 stars.
23 of 24 people found this review helpful.

I found this book to be well written and informative. The quilt patterns range from simple to complex for beginners and the more experienced quilter. For those of you who are beginners, invest in a rotary cutter system for this will make redundant cutting of pieces much faster and easier. I did find that I needed to purchase some extra yardage of fabrics due to my choice in color and arrangements, keep this in mind if you should chose to vary from the colors used in the book. I would have liked to see pointers on how to handle complex intersections in some of the star patterns that would have made them lay nicer. I had to learn by trial and error. (Practice with scraps on these until you feel you have it down.) All in all I found this volume to be well laid out with beautiful photography and helpful. The abundance of available pattern pieces was generous and should keep the reader busy attempting to recreate the wonderful quilts depicted in the book.

Editorial Review:

Now in paperback! More than a half million copies of this bestseller have sold in hardcover since its release. Now, under softcover, Georgia's first book on her special portable quilting techniques goes portable, too.

Editorial Review:

Welcome to Georgia Bonesteel's quilt world. Sprinkled with personal anecdotes and photos, this book is alternately humorous and inspiring, instructive and charming. It tells her story as she shares instructions and patterns for making a number of the beloved projects introduced in her lap quilting television series. From Lap Quilting Your Legacy Quilt to Crazy Patch purses and vests, there is something here for everyone. Some of the charming projects presented include The Ice Cream Quilt, Sashiko Soft Box, Happy Chicken, Weave of Wonder, and more. The Strip Picture Piecing chapter highlights landscaped wall quilts in her trademark, easy-to-sew vertical strips. Well known for pioneering wearable art, Georgia includes a whimsical vest and jacket section, called Get Real Garments. It's like having a private sewing lesson in your home. AUTHORBIO: What began as a hobby for Georgia Bonesteel has developed into a highly visible career for more than 30 years. She is perhaps best known for her role in bringing her art into the homes of people across the country through Lap Quilting, produced by The Center of North Caroline Public TV, seen on many television stations. Her goal has been to refine the traditional methods to provide a quicker and easier way to make quilts, without sacrificing quality. REVIEW: Quiltmaking Legacy by Georgia Bonesteel provides a TV show hostess' easily-reproduced patterns for both blocks and beginning quilt landscapes and other projects. The very simple projects present a photo and large pattern with easy directions, making Quiltmaking Legacy especially appropriate for beginners.
