Give this book a second look. At first glance, it's true, there aren't as many colorful pictures as we would all like to see, but after further examination I fell in love with the book. I realized it was sparking lots of ideas, which probably wouldn't have happened if I was looking just for patterns to copy. Ms. Armstrong's recent appearance on TV really caught my eye -- applique, embellishments, small (or large) projects, no hoop or frame, free-form quilting designs (some terrific close-up photos of these at the tops of the pages) -- just what I've been looking for. For me, this is definitely a keeper!

I think this book is a refreshing look at the Art of Quilting, with little if any patchwork. A book that is easy to read, well laid out and a catalist to just get you started. The quilts in this book are very elegant with light touches of color. An inspiration to design your own works of art. I will use my crochet and silk ribbon in my next quilt. This is not limited like her previous book to just flower embrodery. Each project is different to give you a taste of the wide spectrum of this wonderful art. Beautiful Book!

I love Carol's concept in this book... outline a block and put flowers, or other designs, within that outline!.. very interesting...and the appliques are lovely...good book

Lots of ideas - beautiful color photos. Makes me want more of Ms. Armstrong's books.

Carol Armstrong's Quilting With Carol Armstrong shows how to combine quilting and embellishments for a polished look. Her technique involves using quilting lines over pieced blocks to define patterns. Sixteen projects include appliques and quilting patterns.

This book was a disappointment in comparison with the other unique and pretty designs that Carol Armstrong's other books include. This book was dull and unexciting. Sorry.
