Customer Reviews

a must for art quilters

I would recommend this book to anyone who is into art quilts. The Quilt National exhibit is a good indicator of trends in fiber art. I received this book shortly before I went to Quilt Festival in Houston, where Quilt National 2005 happened to be included in the special exhibits. If you can't see the quilts in person, get the book!

The photos of the quilts are stunning. The color resolution is good and the photos show detail.

A great book on the current state of the art

Well photographed and documented, this book is a great snapshot of what's current and exciting in the field of art quilts.
