"Even if you’re a fusing fanatic already, this book is fun just for Laura Wasilowski’s outrageous journal stories that she created to go along with these fun small art quilts. If you’re not yet into fusing, clear step-by-step instructions are included for several projects to get you hooked. Helpful advice includes keeping a sketchbook of inspiration and ideas, creating your own patterned cloth with small fusible patterns before cutting out a major element for your pieces and the use of tweezers to position tiny pieces exactly where they need to be."

“Quilts can tell a story…you will learn how to make some whimsical art quilts that go from a journal or sketchbook to a quilt. One of my favorite things about this book is that the concept is easy enough for kids to understand. All you need is a journal entry, a way to capture the inspiration and a method of construction…You definitely have to be able to let yourself go when you decide to use this book. You never know what adventures you will open up for yourself, and how it will change quilting for you in the future.”
