The designs in here are modern and beautiful. Sure to please anyone who isn't into "traditional" (aka old-fashioned) quilts.

However, I found the patterns rather difficult for the bed quilts. Makes me wish that this book was on paper/foundation piecing instead of the use-photocopied-templates-to-cut-all-the-weird-pieces-and-keep-your-fingers-crossed-it-works method. I would have given this book a five if it wasn't for this "problem."

At least Denyse clearly illustrates every part and provides very clear patterns to be photocopied and enlarged, even if many of them are for the most advanced quilter. And the section covering quilting techniques in general was well written and very concise.

Beautiful! I cannot wait to start some of these projects. A delightful book that has introduced quilting to me - and done so with hip patterns, well thought out instructions, and radical colors. Inspirational. ( )
