This a truly inspiring book. The photos are wonderful. Although full-size patterns are not given for the quilts, intermediate quilters will easily be able to draft their own patterns. A must for any quilter's library! -C. Thomas
About the Author
The executive book editor for the American Quilter's Society, Barbara Smith, fell in love with quilting in the mid 1980s. Intrigued by the geometry of piecing and the color and feel of fabric, she was drawn to the craft. She considers herself blessed to be able to combine her two passions, quiltmaking and publishing.
