Terrific inspiration and instruction for art quilt design and completion
The title doesn't tell the whole story. Yes, it does have great pictures, but the design ideas are the real stars. Many techniques I've seen used, but wasn't sure how to incorporate into designs. Using color, lines, texture, text, layering, plus loads of other details. Lots of info on stitching and about 20 pages on finishing the quilt (usually wrapped up in about 2 pg). This is about art quilts, not traditional piecing, uses a lot of abstract ideas, but techniques are always easily transferred by the artist to use to their particular genre. Thick book, 220 pages. Terrific addition to your collection. Everything is beautifully illustrated with pictures ( thus the title) ! *Comment on all used books I've purchased on Amazon, dozens. They have almost always been in new condition, even when they say "good". Very pleased with service from all vendors!
Good Instrustions!!
This will keep me off the streets & out of the Bars folding away.

The best art quilt reference I’ve owned.
This is the best art quilt book I’ve ever bought. It has over 200 pages and I’m sure I’ve flagged at least 100 of them. If you are looking for inspiration for your own creations, this is the one to get!

Great info and pics.
Art quilting inspiration.
If you want to see some gorgeous art quilts for inspiration, this is a great book. Above my skill level, but beautiful ideas for me to try once I've successfully created a few basic art quilts.
Fast shipping as described.
Great book for a great price and in good condition.
A Good Book for Your Quilting Library
