"I love this book!  Cherri House has a wonderful design sense and explains her process well. Her patterns are simple but very effective and the colors just sing!  I've never quilted with solid fabrics before but now I'm itching to go out and create a whole new stash -- and to start paying more attention to the designs in my own city."

"In City Quilts, one of my favorite quilt designers, Cherri House, demonstrates how basic geometric shapes and the use of boldly-colored fabrics can create the breathtakingly beautiful quilts.  The patterns and textures of cityscapes, both architectural and the layout of a city itself, inspired these quilt patterns.  The simple lines and shapes in these quilts coupled with the bold use of color provide a “wow” factor that is sure to delight quilters from novice to expert.   I especially loved Cherri’s discussion on color, and her reference to “a quilter’s palette”.  She gives a brief, but thoroughly informative discourse on color schemes, which serves as a springboard in one’s own palette discovery or a challenge to an quilt dog to try some new color tricks. In City Quilts, Cherri shows us how we can train our eyes to see more than what’s in front of us, and to see a quilt in everything.  Bravo!"

"City Quilts by Cherrie House is new book hot off the presses at C&T Publishing. Since I love quilts that are both simple and make use of solid color fabrics I knew from the beginning that this book would hold interest for me. Having grown up in New York City the photos in the book were quite evocative for me. I think that Ms. House did a remarkable job of designing simple but dramatic quilts reminiscent of every day city living images. Although I love using solid colors I think that the quilts in this book also lend themselves equally well to using prints. The beginning of the book includes a well done section on the basics - I like everything about this book and am looking forward to beginning one of the patterns. Also included is an excellent section on color choices, a bit of theory and tips on developing your ability to "see" patterns in everyday sights. I have collected quite a quilt library over the years and so there are not that many new books that come out that I truly want to spend the money on to add to my ever expanding collection - but this one is a good bet for your permanent collection! I don't think it will disappoint!"

"I would be lying if I said that I wasn't a little excited to get home to check my mailbox this evening... "City Quilts" is everything I hoped for and more. Sometimes I get excited about a new quilt book and then I end up a little disappointed. Not this time! Cherri really shines in this book and her quilts are just stunning. I'm not much of a pattern follower but there are several quilts in here that I want to make. And then the Tufted Tweets fabrics... super cute! I can't wait to make some new cross blocks with this fabric! It's been a good day... a new book, new fabric, a pot roast ready when we got home, and now I'm sitting down to read a new book on my iPad."
