Review: I was absolutely amazed and inspired when I received this book. The quilts are beautiful works of art. After reading the easy to follow instructions, I could not wait to start my own fractured landscape quilt. I was so excited about this beautiful technique that I took the book to my local fabric store and shared it with the sales staff. They were as amazed as I. They were so amazed that they are interested in purchasing this book for themselves and for the store.

Summary: Beautiful quilts
Review: This book showcases the superb talent of the author in designing and crafting her unique style of quilt. The techniques will challenge the experienced quilter, but the many finished pieces will be a joy for all. These quilts are based on actual landscape photos from which the basic design is drawn. Geometric patterns are added "fracturing" the image into sections, each of which is pieced with it's own selection of fabrics. The end result is a remarkable play of light & color that gives the impression of looking at a scene through multiple lenses or broken glass. The special techniques used to produce these quilts are well described and illustrated. This is more than a how-to book. The many beautiful quilts done by the author and her students and shown in full color are a great display of the art of the quilt.
