LOL!! The book is not by me. I just recommended it to Sue. ;-)

It's called The Art of Machine Piecing by Sally Collins.
http://www.amazon.com/Art-Machine-Pi...508666&sr=8-1/
She really deconstructs the whole process, each and every step. Even though she works on a small scale, her explanations of how and why things go wrong are relative to whatever size block you're working on.
It's not a quilt police thing at all. And I always say this - you don't have to even follow her each of her methods. But when something goes wrong or is a bit off on your next project, at least now you'll know why. And how to deal with it.

It really should be the FIRST book a newbie buys, instead of a book with easy quilts and generic instructions.

And I have, on occasion, seen it in the racks at Joann's.


@Sue -
Wow, that quilt top is seriously FLAT and SQUARE. I'm so glad the book was helpful to you.
