This was my first quilting book, and I still refer back to it when I am stumped by a new technique. It has great color ideas; the quilts are modern and whimsical (I think many quilters take themselves too seriously); and I like the idea of testing a new technique on a small dollie quilt first before trying out the technique on a full-sized quilt. Ms. Fielke also likes to hand quilt, which is my preference.

I'm not having much luck with these quilting books. The author had several sets of instructions for a small quilt and a similar large one. She suggests making the small quilt to learn the technique before using it on a much larger quilt. I didn't like most of the patterns and, while she did include specific instructions for the unique methods, I just wasn't inspired to try any of them.

I liked her big applique pattern the best. The patterns are not remarkable, but I love love love her fabrics.
