This invaluable resource includes: Inspiration: how to interpret sources of inspiration found in the world around us to provide themes for quilts; Surfaces: creative ways to experiment with surface effects; Design: an overview of the all-important rules of design and how they can be applied to quilts; Colour: explains the basic principles to give the reader colour confidence; Stitch: discusses modern approaches to traditional techniques such as piecing and applique, free machine embroidery, mark-making and embellishment. The author's unique Design Classes and worksheets help to increase confidence through practical exercises, and the book contains over 200 stunning quilts, including examples from the best quilt artists working today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, contemporary quilts, 26 April 2004
This is a beautifully produced book, which really does give you theinformation you need to make wonderful, personal and contemporary quilts. If you need the basics this is not the book to buy - as the summarydescribes this is for people who know the basics about quilting but wantup-to-date advice and inspiration and valuable design ideas.
I metSandra Meech at the NEC and found her very friendly and inspiring and socouldn't wait for the book to appear. I promise I was not disappointedand keep it close by to refer to often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent design reference book, 15 Jan 2010
By A. L. Mcleod "Anna McLeod" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A lovely book, with excellent details of how to design your own quilt. The finished project will be a work of art as well as a quilt. The book takes you through every step of the design process, from finding the initial inspiration, colour, proportions and how to finish and embellish the quilt. It is not about traditional patchwork, but is more about taking the technique to the next level. A very good book for those interested in design and use of colour.
