Rating:
Summary: inspiring
Review: i had seen this book reviewed in a quilting magazine, and made a vague mental note to look into it. then, i found it at a local quilt shop, looked into it, and bought it.

the author is an award-winning quilter, and it is her work that is featured in the book. her quilts are breathtaking, varied, and beautiful. the photos and illustrations are first rate. the instructions are detailed and straight-forward. the author assumes her readers have functioning brains and the desire to learn and excel. there are instructions for specific quilts in the text and also many additional quilting designs. the author also includes suggestions for adapting designs to quilting which are very helpful.

highly recommnded.
