Summary: Worth study
Comment: I don't think I would ever have made a handful of identical full-sized quilts just so I could experiment with various styles of quilting. But I'm glad that Lee Cleland did. My copy is in storage, so I can't cite details, but the differences are--not amazing exactly, but important enought to justify spending quite a lot of time looking at a quilt top with a view to finishing it.
So, yes, it's worth quite a bit of study. A bunch of different quilts, each one made a bunch of times, so that we could see how much difference quilting makes.
Not a first quilt book, or even a third. After a couple of basic how-to's, a specialized folder,and a pretty picture book maybe.

Summary: Reccomended by the accidental quilter
Comment: I purchased this book as a companion book to "The Fabric Makes the Quilt" by Roberta Horton. Here are two quilters and one believes fabric makes the quilt, and the other believes the quilting design makes the quilt. I think they are both right! Having both these books for comparison--gave me quite a visual lesson in quilting! What is truly unique about Lee Cleland's book is that she photographs a quilt and shows you how it looks with different quilting patterns. She does this with twelve quilts and it makes you truly consider how you will quilt your design. Truly the quilting is itself a design element and after studying this book--you will never make the beginner's mistake of considering the quilting pattern an afterthought. The color photos in this book are clear and well thought out. There is a pull out quilting paper in the back of the book to practice some of Lee's patterns.

Summary: "Quilt as Desired"
Comment: This book is the only one I've found that does a really good job of showing how the quilting can change the appearance of a quilt, by showing the exact same piecing with different quilt patterns. The photography is excellent and the subject fascinating. I don't mind at all that machine quilting was emphasized...
