SUMMARY- I admit I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this book - it just sounded interesting. And it IS interesting. This is not your classic patchwork quilt book. This is about making art quilts using specific techniques laid out by the designer. If you're adventurous and want to get completely away from traditional and make something spectacularly unique, you may want to find a copy of this book and give it a good read. There's a lovely gallery with photos that originally inspired the quilt.
