Towards the end of the Introduction, the author, Martha Sielman writes "The book's underlying concept of displaying up to a dozen quilts by each of the artists does limit the number of quilters included in the book, but it also allows the artists' work to be seen in much greater depth."

Finally, an art-quilt book that is not based on the motto, "the weirder the better". So many beautiful works of art in here.
Amazing fiber artists.
A beautiful book with pages on 40 different art quilters. Short on verbiage, long on pictures of seminal quilts, just the way I like it. There is a good cross-section of quilters from Michael James and Yvonne Porcella to Joan Schulze Hollis Chatelain. Highly recommend.
Fantastic quilting eye candy.
