Reviews for Artful Log Cabin Quilts: From Inspiration to Art Quilt - Color, Composition & Visual Pathways

Katie is one of my favourite quilt authors. She has the most wonderful ideas. If you are thinking traditional log cabin quilts, think again. This book takes you from inspiration to a modern interpretation of log cabin quilts. Make free-form blocks from any image. Contents include history, inspiration, grids, fabrics, cutting, construction, quilting and finishing plus a gallery. There are lots of ideas for composition. The book has easy to follow instructions and is illustrated throughout with fabulous images of work. A simple design idea that works and will transform your quilting. It doesn't, however make me think of log cabin quilts, but very very artful, yes. Great designs, great use of colour, fabric and stitch. * Yarnsandfabrics.co.uk *
