I got Kathy Doughty's first book "Material Obsession" from the library and it totally changed the way I felt about fabric choices. Since then I have purchased a couple of Kathy's books. Having collected traditional quilt fabrics for years, I felt like the older fabric that I still love just doesn't fit in with contemporary quilt fabrics I've added to my stash. But Kathy has made me feel thrilled with the possibilities of using my fabric in unexpected, unpredictable ways. So when I saw she had a new book coming out, I pre-ordered it having complete faith that I'd love it. (I've never been disappointed with a book published by Stashbooks anyway.) I didn't even use the 'Look Inside' feature on Amazon.
This book gives great instructions for using special rulers, such as the wedge ruler. The pictures are great; the instructions are easy to follow. The patterns are not repeats; the theme, text and projects are all fresh and new. I read my quilt books from cover to cover and thoroughly enjoyed this one. For each quilt there is a "How I started" and "How I finished" section as well as great tips. The large scale quilts are so fun I'd like to try designing one myself! I have already started gathering fabric for Vintage Spin.
