4.0 out of 5 stars Log cabins and watermelon seeds, December 6, 2002

This review is from: The Best of Black Mountain Quilts (Paperback)

Teri Christopherson owns up to very eclectic tastes that "change with my mood," and this book reflects that variety. What unifies it is a very definite bent toward traditional quilt designs and a love of rich, warm color combinations. The thirty patterns presented in this book are selected from the designs of the Black Mountain Quilts pattern company, and range from the whimsical to the very elegant and subtle. Although traditional, these quilts display lots of new twists, such as the "Watermelon Picnic" quilt, which uses log cabin blocks to depict watermelon slices. The photography is superb, the instructions meticulous, and patterns include table runners, pillows, and tree decorations as well as quilts. Both appliqué and pieced techniques are featured.

Beautiful choices of fabric and innovations on traditional patterns make this book of piecing and applique such a delight. Includes an elegant flag quilt, watermelon log cabin, and lots of flowers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book, beautiful quilts!, June 5, 2003

This review is from: The Best of Black Mountain Quilts (Paperback)

This is the best quilt book in my collection. I seldom am tempted to make a quilt exactly as shown in the pattern, but I could happily make my way through this book - one quilt at a time!

Christopherson's color and fabric choices are inspiring and are an excellent exercise in going beyond basic fabric selection. Her techniques and designs give you the maximum visual impact for minimum effort - heirloom looks that can be achieved in weeks rather than months.

Personally, I enjoy the process of making a quilt almost more than the quilt itself. In my quilt book purchases, I look for motivation, information, and inspiration. Christopherson has it all. Her quilts are a tremendous amount of fun to make and yield beautiful results. My family will get great Christmas presents this year, if I can bear to part with any of these quilts!
