SUMMARY- This wasn't originally in my mom's collection of books - I have no idea how she missed it. I think she would have loved it. She was a strip-piecer, and occasionally dabbled in art quilting. I think with her fabric collection, she would have had a lot of fun playing with this. She makes doing one of those fabulous watercolor quilts quite doable by someone with only moderate skill. If you're interesting in dipping a toe in these particular waters, I'd have this book on hand.
