Tessellation Quilts November 27, 2008
It did not meet my expections. I will hang on to it and maybe some day I will get the urge to try one. I thought there would be more patterns and clearer patterns and instructions.

A Genuinely Original and Helpful Guide April 11, 2008
This author has very useful hints and demonstrations of how to make tesselated designs. I was looking for something original for a pattern I wished to create. This had two examples from which I could choose. There are beautiful illustrations and many options from which to choose.
