5.0 out of 5 stars
a must for art quilters
I would recommend this book to anyone who is into art quilts. The Quilt National exhibit is a good indicator of trends in fiber art. I received this book shortly before I went to Quilt Festival in Houston, where Quilt National 2005 happened to be included in the special exhibits. If you can't see the quilts in person, get the book!

Disappointed
I don't know whats going on in the art quilt world these days, but it seems to me that the more you can change the structure of the fabric, the more chance you have to get into a venue like this. These quilts pretty much all look alike to me, and it appears to me that the artists have qualified for this venue by slopping,dropping, and plopping as much gunk on the fabric...

I don't know whats going on in the art quilt world these days, but it seems to me that the more you can change the structure of the fabric, the more chance you have to get into a venue like this. These quilts pretty much all look alike to me, and it appears to me that the artists have qualified for this venue by slopping,dropping, and plopping as much gunk on the fabric as it can hold. There is more to art quilting than surface design! I do have to say that there are some truely breathtaking works in this book, but over all I was extremely disappointed. There is more to art quilting than pure abstraction and embellishment!

The photos of the quilts are stunning. The color resolution is good and the photos show detail.
