As a crafter who has only dipped her toe into the world of quilting, I was excited to see this book land on my desk the other day. 1, 2, 3 Quilt, by Ellen Luckett Baker of The Long Thread, is a collection of 24 projects that are designed to hone your quilting skills. The chapters are organized by shape, “the essential design element of any quilt,” Baker writes.
The combination of gorgeous photography and spot-on fabric colors/patterns makes every project appealing. Take a look:

I hope i win this…..there are more and more quilt work designs being use in the kitebuilding world (where i come from!).
I’ve been “working” on a quilt for a few years now… I wonder if this book would help me get it out of my head and into my car :)
This book would be perfect! I love to quilt but don’t have too much time for it, so smaller projects are ideal and would give me a lot of creative freedom. Thanks for the opportunity to win it!
She rocks! I’ve got this book on my Christmas wish list!

Book looks amazing, and I’m now very tempted by this and the “1,2,3 Sew!”
I’m new to quilting. This would be an awesome book to help me on my path.
Even I could do these projects and actually get them done! Colorful and just plain pretty.
i would love to have this book! looks like great projects and very doable, not to be confused with that pile of unfinished projects :)
thanks
Wow! I would love this book! My grandmother taught me how to hand quilt 40 years ago. I am just learning the basics for machine quilting now. This looks like it could help me with the transition! Thank you for the opportunity!
Sounds like the perfect introduction to quilting.
that looks like a lovely book, since i’m just starting it would be a great addition to my library.
I’ve taken one quilting class and while I feel confident I can complete the small project from memory, doing so from a written source is intimidating. I’ve got a stack of my boys’ old jeans that I want to make into quilts for them when they head off to college but I need something that tells me how to do something amazing with it, and in simple terms that I can actually understand. LOL!
I’ve been wanting to start quilting for a while now, but it’s always seemed so intimidating!
What a fun looking book! I really like those coasters.
I love patterns and quilting has always been something that I have been interested. That and flag making. Thank you, for keeping the domestic arts alive by documenting and sharing how to learn new skills and improving old ones.
Ooh, awesome!
I have always wanted to learn how to quilt!
I hope us Canadians are eligible for your give-a-way :) I have a serious fabric stash, and have done almost no quilting. Sigh.
It looks like this book has some great skill-building projects for any sewer.
I’d love to dig into this, the projects look like great skill builders!
