Art Quilts: Celebration: 400 Stunning Contemporary Designs

I loved it and so does everyone I show it to! It gives you so many ideas for your own projects and is visually simulating no matter what type of artist you are.

SPECTACULAR!!!!!

My jaw dropped when I saw this book. Big hefty 500 pages of glorious colorful quilts. You cannot imagine what a fabulous collection of quilts this book contains. And all in one book! You will not be disappointed! 5 stars isn't enough!

WOW ! Amazing book !

A gift that keeps on pleasing. 10 years of glorious quilts - beautifully presented and printed. I think this book is an incredible value as well as a feast for your eyes and spirit.

Beautiful, HUGE book

This book has a wonderful introductory section, followed by the exhibit catalogs for Quilt National for 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001 and 2003. It's wonderful to have them in one volume. But if you already OWN all the catalogs, you should know that this book is just the same, except the individual books' introductory sections (jurors' statements, etc) are omitted. If you don't own all the aforementioned exhibit catalogs, you'll abosolutely love having this book in your collection! It would make a stunning gift for upcoming holidays, as well.
