Review Michigan Bishop Sewing Council - January 1, 2009
“…Right off the bat (no pun intended) the authors explain the importance of placement of colors. Fabric selection being crucial part of quilt preparation, value is discussed and explained with color illustrations. Examples of darkest/lightest and amounts of contrast are shown, as well as how background color and scale of prints affect the fabric choices and placement…”
Review MyModernQuilts.com - December 14, 2009
"I had the pleasure of taking a class from Helen Frost and Catherine Skow in 2008 in Houston. One tip that's not in the book is rotary cutting to and away to limit skew of the fabric (shh, this one is secret!) Besides that, you'll learn some great tips for accuracy in piecing and rotary cutting. Great book! Beginner to intermediate."
