Finally--Frank Lloyd Wright is accessible to fabric artists!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quilts in the tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright (Paperback)
This comprehensive book of quilt patterns using the stained glass window designs of Frank Lloyd Wright is a treasure. As a quilter and stained glass craftswoman, this book is a dream come true. The extensive explanations which accompany each design are easy to understand; the step-by-step illustrations make these complicated designs feasible for anyone. These deceptively simple-looking geometric designs make beautiful quilts (I've seen them in quilt shows), wallhangings, windowcoverings or they could be used to try your hand at stained glass. Jackie Robinson really did her homework, and her resulting book is one I use often.

In the "Tradition" for sure.,
This review is from: Quilts in the tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright (Paperback)
I like the book but the patterns are not as close to the actual windows as I would have liked to see. The window designs are changed quite a bit and the colors are completely different. Even the places where color should and shouldn't be are changed. I think if the actual window were photographed for comparison it might be better.

Nothing is right!,
By Homestyle (In the woods of Arkansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quilts in the tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright (Paperback)
Nothing worked right with the pattern in the book. It was frustrating and I ended up drafting my own pattern to finish what I started.
