5.0 out of 5 stars Sizzling Design Ideas!, May 30, 2000
By Margaret Spatafore (Kirkland, WA) - See all my reviews
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Simple idea S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D too far..., October 28, 2001
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, easy, and well written, June 11, 2009
I took this class within days of receiving the book. What a blast. These blocks once made can be turned every way but loose. You wind up with a very striking quilt that looks very complicated but it was so easy...just follow the instructions for a very different quilt.
