Some of us work well by rules, the rest of us love to rebel. I at heart, hate straight lines, I do not enjoy measuring and calculating. That is why I write about Textiles rather than be a tailor. So the title of this book have my curious nature a nudge - I am pretty improvisational in life - so whats not to love about a quilt channelling my outer qualities? I like the arty way this book has been presented. For this reason, I can see it attracting a younger audience than some more traditional quilt books. Of course you still need to learn how to quilt - we are not let off the education completely, but you can use the skills to develop your own voice in quilting art. I can imagine once you gain your confidence, dyeing your own fabrics and using those to make a quilt using the guidance in this book. The pictures and diagrams seem very clear, for those who want to know.
