Fine beginners book but rather sketchy

I think a better book is the Complete Guide to Quiltingby Better Homes and Gardens though this book does take the nod on just getting you going and giving you some very easy and basic projects. THe problem is nothing is very deep and there is a lot of information (handpiecing vs machine piecing) that is just not remarked upon. The book heaving concentrates on piecework and not quilting btw, which may be a shock to someone just picking this up and not viewing it throoughly. It does though go thru the various block types including circular and applique up to advanced issues.Colour placement is also sketchy with a nod to the waterfall method of colour placement (dark outsides giong to very light centres) but really very little on colour harmony and triadac usage.But the projects are very very nice but I don't think you use this book solely and make a good first quilt.
