Two books you might like are 'I Love Patchwork' http://bit.ly/bzWlvI and 'Quilting in No Time' http://bit.ly/99BTxs. Both use really cool fabrics and are more about matching great fabrics and looks than scary patchwork or quilting. But the basic principles of patchwork are dead easy anyway - you do have to be careful and consistent with seams, but beyond that it's great fun! Jen x These are great.

I reckon classes can be good. I went to a beginner's crochet class last week, it was excellent. And I'm rather glad I knew half the stuff already, or my brain would've exploded! Hi Lara!

I actually went onto a patchwork shop the other day and inquired about classes. I don't think I'll actually go there, but I do think I need a bit more guidance than my usual gung ho approach.... Lovely!
