What did I find inside this gorgeous cover? So much inspiration but also the tools to create new works myself. The subject is broken down into manageable chapters covering such topics as Inspiration for Quilt Design, Launching the Design Process, Nuts and Bolts of Quilt Design, The Design Process and the all important Tools and Techniques.You learn a lot about the quilts in this book which I love. I think that it is by knowing how someone created something that you are able to start your own journey taking the piece or the artist as inspiration.This is a book you could flick through but I am actually reading it from front and back because the content really speaks to me. It has already sparked a lot of ideas and has bought home to me the value of journaling and sketchbooks.Both the natural and man world world are referenced in the book and from both the use of line is discussed. Breaking down the whole into its constituent pieces and sometimes finishing up with a piece that doesn't resemble the original inspiration at all but you can see how it has been influenced.
