Inches R Fun,

This review is from: Inchies: Create Miniature Works of Art Using Textiles and Mixed Media Techniques (Paperback)
This is a lovely book. Beautifully laid out and with coloured pictures and examples throughout. Explains techniques and materials required clearly. Projects are very good, useful for beginners and those who are experienced quiltmakers. There are coloured pages of finished quilts and ideas for what to do with the tiny art creations. I think making these miniature quilts is going to be addictive. A wonderful way to use up scraps. Defintely worth adding to your book collection.

This review is from: Inchies: Create Miniature Works of Art Using Textiles and Mixed Media Techniques (Paperback)
I bought this book because i wanted some new ideas for embellishing larger pieces, not tiny ones. There are some creative and interesting techniques but overall i found the examples got repetitive. I am keeping it though because it still has some fun ideas i can use in different ways, just not as many as i had hoped.
