4.0 out of 5 stars Transfers Celtic knots onto fabric art, May 4, 1998

This review is from: Celtic Geometric Quilts (Paperback)

The author has taken the traditional Celtic knot, and combined the angular lines with fabric bias strips, to create a new art form. The technique creates frames and borders that are elegant. Quilters will enjoy the ease and speed with which these go together, and Celtic artists may also be inspired. I even put them on sweatshirts and pillows!

3.0 out of 5 stars A book for the experienced piecer, July 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Celtic Geometric Quilts (Paperback)

This book has challenging designs taking the celtic knot into fabric form. There are few examples of completed quilts and those that are provided are very similar in colour. The designs are quite intricate, as one would expect with the celtic knot.
