From British author, teacher, and quilter Carolyn Forster this book is the perfect introduction to utility quilting - the ideal method for modern quilters who seek the satisfaction of hand quilting but like to get things done quickly.

Carolyn started quilting as a girl, and it has since then become an integral part of her life. She has been a teacher for over 15 years and her quilt projects have been published in a number of books and magazines. Her books, Quilting-on-the-Go, Utility Quilting, and Quilting-on-the-Go Taking It Further, help make patchwork and quilting easy and accessible to quilters of all skill levels. Carolyn and her family live in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK. (carolynforster.co.uk)

With sections on getting started, preparing to quilt, and a great section on utility quilting designs, you will have all the tools you need to complete these quilts. The patterns aren't intricate, as this book's focus is on the quilting process...The section on stitches even gave me ideas that I hadn't thought to use...This is definitely one book I plan on sharing with my guild.-- "Midwest Book Review"
