A riot of color and an array of extraordinary designs mark this volume as a truly innovative and exciting approach to quilt design. Concentrating on color, proportion, and scale; the power of line and shapes; and other principles of good design, Wolfrom teaches how to create quilts that are radically different from the traditional. Landscapes, geometrics, abstracts, florals--every subject yields unusual and striking results. Even those loosely based on standard quilt patterns have been interpreted in surprising new ways. The quilts illustrated (by a variety of artists) are absolutely gorgeous; the inspiration power of these alone is worth the price of admission. --Amy Handy See less

Inspired by her love of fabric, Susan Carlson developed an approach to fabric collage that ultimately resulted in astonishing pictorial fabric art of richly layered textures and patterns. Her superb draftsmanship and masterful sense of color yields quilts more akin to painting than piecework. Luckily, she is just as expert at explaining her methods to others as she is at using them herself; the result is a book filled with crisp color images of her own work as well as some by her students, along with well-written text that details everything quilters need to know to start using her techniques. Rather than present specific how-tos to duplicate her designs, she teaches readers all her secrets so they can create their own designs, using her amazing works as inspiration. --Amy Handy See less
