Summary: The Fabric Makes the Quilt
Review: Ms. Horton has put together one of the most inspirational and attractive quilting books that I've ever seen. I was a beginning quilter and a long-time artist, and this book helped "set me free" in this medium of fabric. It's packed with diverse examples, both culturally and stylistically. The compositions transcend their more traditional counterparts with a jaw-dropping alchemy of colour, texture, design and the spirit of creation. A must for any quilter with a rogue spirit and/or an interest in personalizing the quilt art form for certain visions!

Review: This is the way a fine artist quilts! No little squares and boxes and even steven ness allowed. This book is worth it's price by illustrating how to turn a pictoral element into a Hogarth curve. (the rooster on page 50 and the dancer on page 69.) If you are interested in bringing creativity to ethnic designs--this is the book for you. Roberta gives some timely tips on machine applique and constructing unique applique patterns that are helpful when you beginning planning your own unique quilt.
