Summary: Innovation
Review: A very well written instruction, and project book. Clear, concise instructions, graphics great, and the projects are varied, and not difficult.
I would recommend this book to beginners, even children and teen-agers I think, who are craft minded, would love the fabric folding, and the many ways in which to use the flowers.

Summary: Folding Fabric is Fun!
Review: Compared to many quilting books, this one is easy to use and offers fresh ideas. It provides detailed step-by-step instructions with photographs. There are photos on almost every page--this makes the book more stimulating than many quilting books that rely on black and white diagrams and drawings. In addition to the table of contents, the book offers a useful index and bibliography. With this book, even people who have never done origami (or used folding techniques) can add this method to their quilting. However, this may not be the book for those who want to make quilts that look traditionally Japanese. The book's kimono designs are very Japanese looking, but the quilting arrangements are not typically Japanese. For those interested in making authentically Japanese looking quilts, I would recommend "Honoring the Seasons" (1996) by Takako Onoyama. Still, "Fantastic Fabric Folding" is a great book for those who would like to add some Japanese flavor and new designs to their quilts.

Summary: Something exciting to do with fabric
Review: This book is a lot of fun. It's pictures are beautiful and the diagrams and illustation informative. You'll want to try every fold in the book. Some of the quilts made with these folds I would be afraid to wash but they are beautiful and a joy to try.
