The Best of Quilting Arts: Your Ultimate Resource for Art Quilt Techniques and Inspiration Paperback – December 13, 2011

If you like Quilting Arts Magazine, this is a great book for you. It seems like a repeat of projects from the magazine; I am not a subscriber of the magazine, but the projects seem familiar from issues I have seen over the years. I was drawn to many of the book's manipulation of fabric, including instructions for mosaic quilts, interesting finishes and bindings (such as using ribbon), resist dying and discharging fabric, mono printing, and more. Not everything is my cup of tea, but overall I like the detailed techniques described in the book.

Many of the techniques shown in this book were seen on quilting arts tv. It's nice to have the instructions in print rather than dealing with pausing videos to follow instructions and get supply lists.

This book is a collection of short process articles reprinted from Quilting Arts. It is very handy to have them all in one place where they can easily be found. If you read and save all your copies of Quilting Arts this is not an essential book, but I do recommend it to those who would otherwise not have this information ready at hand.

since it has some of the best articles outlining techniques from Quilting Arts magazine, I don't have to hunt through all my old issues to find what I need :)

Everything is fine. Good quality

For those of you familiar with the quilting arts television show and magazines; this book offers the same innovative techniques you are accustomed to. For those who have never experienced quilting arts and aspire to become or are quilting/textile artists; this book will inspire you and expand your notion about what quilting can be. I definitely recommend it.

If you enjoy Quilting Arts, you will love this book. Yes, many of the articles are familiar if you subscribe to the magazIne, but if you don't (like me) you'll love having all the best articles in one book. Bought it for a friend and after I saw it, had to have one of my own! The cover sold me.

This book is terrific! As a glass bead artist and novice quilter, this offers great ideas for combining my two favorite mediums. Also contains ideas for releasing my inner creativity when ideas aren't flowing as well as I'd like. If you are interested in quilting as an art, this is the book for you!

Love the many techniques and directions.

As an art quilt beginner, I found this book filled with practical information and encouraging ideas. Has pages of professional advice regarding artist statement and other ideas. I'd recommend this book for beginner and advanced quilter.

Love the great diversity of ideas that always come from Quilting Arts

This book goes beyond traditional quilting and gives the reader some great tips on how to make your quilts different.

The book contains many interesting and unusual quilting techniques, which are aimed primarily at advanced level quilters. Definitely not for novices, although it could inspire one to do more.
