Very Informative December 31, 2011

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
There is so much and varied information in this book that you can only read a few articles and then you have to put it down and let the information sink in. It is a great starting point for many quilting methods. It will make you want to try it all.

Great for art quilters March 21, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you like Quilting Arts Magazine, this is a great book for you. It seems like a repeat of projects from the magazine; I am not a subscriber of the magazine, but the projects seem familiar from issues I have seen over the years. I was drawn to many of the book's manipulation of fabric, including instructions for mosaic quilts, interesting finishes and bindings (such as using ribbon), resist dying and discharging fabric, mono printing, and more. Not everything is my cup of tea, but overall I like the detailed techniques described in the book.
