[Brit · Rating 5 out of 5]

Suzanne Marshall's quilts are both beautiful and inspiring. What I really liked was the inclusion of judges' comments, especially the ones pointing out things that could be done differently. It helps us understand what judges are looking for and what sets a show quilt apart from the ordinary, but beautiful quilts.

The book is lovely, but Marshall's work is too sophisticated and precise for me to ever hope to replicate. Not my style, but fun to look at.
