Sizzling Design Ideas!,
By Margaret Spatafore (Kirkland, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strips That Sizzle "Print on Demand Edition" (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)
Wonderful resource for stretching your design sense - expand your understanding of the use of value in a quilt and make a stunning traditional design (with sizzling innovation)or an innovative new quilt design which incorporates elements of traditional design. Incidentally, the quilts are also fun to make. Margaret is an excellent teacher and writer. When you've absorbed Strips That Sizzle, move on to Easy Pieces.

Simple idea S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D too far...,
By quietlyonce (Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strips That Sizzle "Print on Demand Edition" (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)
The premise of the book is summed up simply if you put contrasting colors together, they...ummm contrast...Pretty pictures sure but nothing in techniques, or theory that shake the foundation of quilting. There are many other authors who have put more work into color theory, and design whose books would be a better addition to your collection.

Strips That Sizzle,
By Paula M Yandow (Essex Junction, VT, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Strips That Sizzle "Print on Demand Edition" (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)
I needed this book for a class I was taking. I haven't used it since. I think it would be a great book for those who love working with strip piecing. I found it to be well written and the instructions were easy to follow.
