4.0 out of 5 stars
Think outside the box,
By Homedespot1 (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cut-Loose Quilts: Stack, Slice, Switch, and Sew (Paperback)
This is a very good book. Her explanations are clear, and she goes step by step. You can see that if you could just think as creatively/out of the box/sideways as she does that you could make this stuff as easily as she does. I can't. So I am greatful to have something to refer to over and over as I try to make something that I really like, but can not begin to create on my own. If you need a little push to make something unusual and beautiful then this is a good book for you. I have made most of the blocks that she shows for practice so I can attest that they are all pretty easy...if you can just get your mind away from sewing 90 degree squares.Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for all aspiring textile artists,
By "lizadv" (edmonds, wa United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cut-Loose Quilts: Stack, Slice, Switch, and Sew (Paperback)
Cut Loose Quilts is for those who are aspiring to take their creativity and art to a new level! This book helps one to create quilts that are "out of the box," and is a great first step in using your artistic intuition. Jan Mullen clearly illustrates step by step the process of choosing fabrics, designing, and constructing a quilt. She has plenty of quilt designs as examples, and always is encouraging of you to create your own. The designs are fun and funky takes on many traditional blocks, as well as the license to stray from the conventional. This is one of my most favorite books!
