Summary: A MUST FOR THE QUILTER'S LIBRARY!
Review: Why? Most probably because Gwen Marston and Joe Cunningham always liberate quilters with their "free-spirited" quilt designs. Although the book is instruction in ways to set and border a quilt, they make it clear that some quilts are simply charming without borders! (ex: their "Savannah Star" quilt which instead incorporates heavily quilted design on wholecloth borders).

The authors are consistent about encouraging quilters to NOT ADHERE to official rules of quilting, but instead, to follow one's own instincts and be creative in one's own way.

If you are a fan of Mary Schafer's quilts or collection, there is a good sampling of lovely quilts to satisfy any quilters eyes and imaginations. As well, the authors' quilts are always charming.
