 large number of quilts from different artists May 16, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Bountiful inspirations from Japanese themed & stylized quilts.
Detailing only 5 projects, many more quilts are photographed, along with original images of ceramics textiles & artworks (nothing we haven't seen before, but included with a commentary on the design & short histories).
The huge range and variety of quilts displayed is a potential source of endless inspiration for the keen quilter, and even a fair enough coffee table book.
`Quilt', used here, covers more than patchwork. Many of the pieces are lavishly appliqued and embroidered, and included in the pattern guides are applique instructions as well as some sashiko stitching patterns.
The text is somewhat dry and pompous, but ignoring that, there really is a good selection of widely varying quilts displayed and ought to excite much interest. It certainly is good to see a large number of quilts on one theme from different artists, there is no opportunity for the designs to be stagnant and self replicating. ..
I would also recommend Kumiko Sudo's excellent patchwork & quilting books to anyone interested in the Oriental styles.

If you love quilts you must see this book. I have recently looked at over 60 different books on quilts and I have never seen anything like the stunningly beautiful quilts I found in this book. Must be seen to be believed.
