5.0 out of 5 stars Creative treasure!, September 6, 2004

B. Burke "Editor, college professor" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Circle Play: Simple Designs for Fabulous Fabrics (Paperback)

This is a wonderful technique book that will spark your creativity if you love to play with fabrics! The author has a good grasp of color, value, and design and focuses on their use in quilts to create texture, movement, and light. The bonus for me was the detail of finishing techniques including welting, piping, and "pillowcase turn" edges. Needs to be on the shelf of any artistic quilter!

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Circle Play: Simple Designs for Fabulous Fabrics (Paperback)

If you have a stash of fabric with strong patterns and colors, be they batik, Asian, reproduction, op-art, no matter, you too can create wonderful quilts with movement and balance. This book shows how to make absolutely fabulous quilts that bring out the very best in those small pieces of killer fabric you just had to have, but didn't have a clue what you would do with when you bought them. Clear instructions, great examples, wonderful graphics: great book.

This is not simply a pattern book,it encourages & guides you to create a unique quilt that will show off your most treasured fabrics to their best effect.The book demonstrates through photographs of examples, how different overall looks can be achieved using simple circles.A great book for intermediate quilters or any quilter who wishes to take part in the design process and make an individual quilt.
