An excellent overview of one quilt artits's work. She also provides exercises to help you determine your design style, and explains the different piecine and applique techniques she uses to create her quilts. I didn't take the time to work through all the exercises but did get some very good ideas for how to execute some of the ideas I have in my head.

I actually had this book at one time and then got rid of it. I just wasn't ready for what was in it. So I got it again from the library and reread it. Now I have a ton of ideas and can't wait to try her techniques. Time does change things.
