The artists interviews are fascinating, offering insights into their development and techniques.
Many of the artists I am familiar with; I have seen their quilts or heard them speak or have their books or follow them on social media such as Julia Graber whose quilt is shown below.
But I have also discovered a multitude of new artists! I love that their websites are included with the quilt information and I intend to visit them.
With 350 illustrations on extra large pages, this volume will offer hours of study. It is quite overwhelming!
I received a free book from the publisher in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
