Title: Optical Illusions for Quilters by Karen Combs ISBN: 0-89145-892-1 Publisher: American Quilters Society Pub. Date: November, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $22.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.6 (5 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: very technical
Comment: I have made 2 of Karen Combs patterns and while they turned out well, I would have hated to have tried them as an inexperienced quilter. Her directions are not that easy to follow and require much rereading. The book is very technical. She does wonderful designs but really needs to have the pattern instructions written by someone else and it is not her forte.
Rating: 5
Summary: The Illustrated Quilts are Worth the Price of the Book Alone
Comment: Karen Combs does a fine job gathering examples of each "tool" used to create illusions. I've just read through the book and I feel very inspired to piece a cube. The quilts she's chosen to illustrate different techniques are amazing. If you're up for something different, this book is for you.

Summary: Technique and Inspiration
Comment: This is a technique book that goes to great lengths to illustrate the variety of methods used to create illusions. Using a flat surface, angles, perspective, colors, shading and values all work to trick your mind that you are seeing depth.
Use this book to drive your creativity as well as inspire you to gain more skills in this hobby. Study each of the illustrations as they are marvelous examples you learn something new each time you view this book.
Art quilts are hear to stay and this is a great book to leave on your coffee table to show off to your guests that quilting has indeed come quite a long way. The face of quilting is everywhere around you, not a steriotype of our Grandma's cutting up old shirts.
Enjoy this book and learn new techniques to add depth and enjoyment of this art/hobby of quilting.
