Summary: Still inspiring for beginners
Comment: I was sorry to see this book had such a low review and wanted to add a stronger plus. It was one of the first quilt books I bought and it got me thinking out of the box. I enjoy it and still go back and look through it for ideas. Now that I know Yvonne Porcella's work better, this book does demonstrate a generally more pallid palette of color but it is a good book for a beginner that would like to explore making irregularly patterned quilts.

Summary: Give a girl a break
Comment: Great creativity is sometimes born of impatience, and this seems to be the case with Yvonne Porcella, who says she never has made a large quilt using a repeated block because "I do not like the precision required to measure and calculate fabrics to make a large quilt." Instead, she thinks up magical numbering schemes, fiddles with brightly colored strips of fabric, and makes eye-popping quilts out of simple elements. In this book she shares her clever techniques in great detail and with lots of examples. Some reviewers have carped that Porcella departs from her usual bright primary palette in this volume, but it is nowhere written that an artist can't experiment with other styles and appeal from time to time to other color sensibilities. The primary purpose of the book is to teach a highly formalized technique, and the variety of color choices shows that it works as well for country plaids as for high contrast.

Summary: uninspirational
Comment: Sadly,this book lacks variety in the patterns. It is basicly a one technique book showing several layout and color variations. The biggest dissappointment is the uninspiring color combinations in the pictures. I expected a lot more exciting color play from a fiber artist that has several other books dedicated to the use of color in quilts.
