This is another book I received for free, presumably to review since the letter included wasn't very clear, from Lark Books. It is really nice of them to send me books, especially ones that I like.

In my heart of hearts this is the sort of challenge I would love to be a part of! I was truly grateful when I was offered the opportunity to review this book.

While I must admit I prefer traditional quilts to art quilts, I found this book fascinating. A group of twelve art quilters, most of whom only knew each other from their on-line blogs, challenge themselves to create 12 12"x12" quilts over the period of two years. Each chapter focuses on one artist and one of her quilts, describing her inspiration and the method she used for creating her quilt.
Loved this book and the stories told by each contributor.
I saw the 12 by 12 exhibit in Long Beach and have been savoring this book ever since!
