I loved this book. Sandra Meech made me think. Now there are things I disagree with her. I'm unlikely to ever set up an art board because for me space is always at a premium. I'm unlikely to do the exercises because I have my own processes that work for me and I loath collage.

This book was just what I needed. If you're an art quilter who often gets stuck at the composition stage, this is the book for you. Excellent!
