Summary: It can hurt a little to stretch!
Review: Much more than just another quilt book. It DOES have the great color photos I demand and have gotten used to, but it offers encouraging text to help you, no - push you to grow! Traditional patterns - in the traditional colors - executed traditionaly are indeed treasures. But for those ready to be risky, to try new ideas, new combinations, this is a gem! Not everyone has five great sisters and a few good quilting friends as I do. This book offers lots of easy-to-read straight-talkin' text. The warmth and glow of an exciting quilt is lasting, every time you see it you are glad you tried. And, hey, your mistakes can be hidden under the bedspread, which is more than I can say for my culinary inovations that were a wee bit less than a triumph. I am planning to enter quilt shows again, mama's got a brand-new 'bag'!

Summary: Not what I thought it was.
Review: When I bought this book, I thought it might help me with my new hobby "quilting". But it seemed that the content of the book did not relate to new ideas or techniques. The problem that I had with this book is the fact that it tried to take the important lessons of life and relate it to "quilting". I know many good self help books on getting over your own personal demons in general. But if you have personal obstacles such as insecurities and demons that prevent you from making a great quilt, then I think it would be best to take some quilting lessions or simply just take a break from quilting! All in all, this book did not help me.
