I’ve found that many mixed media artists become inspired to try art quilting, but do not have a traditional quilting background, thus, some of the basics of design, assembly, and finishing may be unknown to them. If you’ve ever wanted to just dive in and start, this is a good book for you to check out.
I really enjoyed reading through the collected articles in this book: the tagline is “Techniques and inspiration for creating one-of-a-kind quilts”, and this book is full of exactly that. From composition to piecing, applique, embellishing, machine or hand stitching, The Quilting Arts Book covers it all.
