5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for Any Quilt Lover!, April 7, 2005

By	Bradonna K. Myers (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although I'm not really into "art" quilts, this book is totally awesome! The quilts are beautiful, and Ricky's hilarious writing style is worth the price of admission alone. The techniques are thoroughly explained, and detailed photos accompany each step. I was amazed at what you can accomplish with one small piece of fabric! I have over 500 quilting books, and this is one of my favorites. You definitely won't regret buying this one!

This book is eye candy. The technique is fun, fast, exciting, and easy to do as long as you are paying attention. It is also forgiving if you make a wrong cut.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for every quilter`, April 1, 2005

By	Jennie E. Mcfarling "magkeep2" (Escondido, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a fabulous book. The results of each quilt is a surprise. It is now my favorite type of quilt to explore. Every quilter should try this technique at least once. The book is easy and Ricky is very specific on the areas where you need to be casual and then areas that are to be very specific. LOVE IT, LOVE IT!. For the new and experienced quilter. Batiks are perfect for this style.
