A wonderful book, but a little hard to understand at times. This is a book that needs quiet time, much concentration to complete the complex fabrics to make them look like something. The illustrations are beautiful as are her fabrics. A little more complicated than I would do all of the time, but something wonderful to create for my collection of quilts.

I liked this book a lot. This book definitely produces blocks that look like kaleidoscopes. However, it requires a lot of time at the fabric or quilt store to get the best results. Therefore using fat quarters and scraps won't work. I also think that it is for a more experienced quilter.
Fantastic results for little effort! March 8, 2007

Tired of pastels and 'tradional' quilts? November 24, 2006

These quilts look incedibly complicated but are actually very easy. The fun is in arranging your fabric patterns and colours. Lots of shortcuts and tips are included. You only need to create a few simple templates and you can create endless designs.
I was tired of pastels and traditional patterns,finding them boring and predictable. These quilts allow you to use your creative skills, mixing and matching patterns, colour and shades. If you are not feeling so creative you can easily copy the designs in the book.
