More About the Author
Paula Nadelstern has achieved international recognition for her innovative and complex designs inspired by the bilateral symmetry of kaleidoscopic images, including the American Folk Art Museum's first one person exhibition highlighting the work of a contemporary quilt artist (2009). Honored by inclusion in the Twentieth Century's 100 Best American Quilts, her designs have inspired industrial products including the vast carpet in the Hilton Americas hotel in Houston, TX. She was a recipient of fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts in 1995 and 2001. Paula lives in New York City and travels extensively teaching her kaleidoscopic quiltmaking techniques.

Tired of pastels and 'tradional' quilts?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Puzzle Quilts: Simple Blocks, Complex Fabrics (Paperback)
These quilts look incedibly complicated but are actually very easy. The fun is in arranging your fabric patterns and colours. Lots of shortcuts and tips are included. You only need to create a few simple templates and you can create endless designs.
I was tired of pastels and traditional patterns,finding them boring and predictable. These quilts allow you to use your creative skills, mixing and matching patterns, colour and shades. If you are not feeling so creative you can easily copy the designs in the book.

Puzzle Quilts: Simple Blocks, Complex Fabrics,
By Pamela P "Pam" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Puzzle Quilts: Simple Blocks, Complex Fabrics (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for those of us who have those unusual fabrics that we don't know what to make. The instructions are clear and concise. The pictures look like a complicated block but the construction is very easy. I made blocks for pillows and the construction was easy. It is also good for making short projects like purses. It's a Must Try!

No for the faint hearted,

This review is from: Puzzle Quilts: Simple Blocks, Complex Fabrics (Paperback)
This book is only for those quilters who enjoy taking hours to
design a block and then more hours to do a lot of individual cuts in percise areas in the fabric. I would recommend it only for the advanced quilter with time on her/his hands.
