Description
Award-winning authors Freddy Moran and Gwen Marston reunite for a follow-up to their successful Collaborative Quilting. This time the duo uses historical quilts for inspiration and collectively gives them their own modern interpretations. Separately, Gwen offers unique insights about historical formats, while Freddy imparts her extensive knowledge about color and pattern. Then the two join forces, often using well-recognized historical quilts as inspiration for new, bold, and modern show more interpretations. Each author shares 20 of her own creations, along with an additional 30 collaborative quilts--and every project comes complete with patterns for shapes, pieces and blocks. show lessTags

At first glance, this book looks very out of place in my quilting library. My quilting tends toward traditional pieced blocks, using reproduction fabrics or batiks. I don't like bright colors or stark black and white. I love intricate piecing, and find applique terrifying. My quilting library is heavy on quilt/textile history and light on patterns.
But I would challenge anyone to look at a quilt by Freddy or Gwen without smiling. These are happy, happy, high energy quilts. This is not a pattern book. The authors provide suggestions, inspiration, and encouragement to just relax and have fun with your quilting. Highly recommended.
