SUMMARY- There is sooooo much eye candy here, and inspiring words from people who love their national park. Techniques used to make the quilts are diverse to the point I could not possibly pick a favorite. The landscape quilt on the cover was done by Marjorie Dolling Curia and the piece is called "Bald Cypress Tree". In case you missed it, this isn't a project book, but a huge gallery of quilts inspired by our national parks. Ms. DeSoto invited people from everywhere to participate, and they responded in droves. This is an awesome book.
