Wonderful 1-fabric Quilts [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

with lots of applications.

there are a lot of examples of kay nichols' one fabric quilts that show the possiblities of her technique, but, of course, the idea can be used in quilts with more than one fabric.

she shows how clever piecing can expand the use of all those gorqeous border stripe fabrics. the results are surprising and beautiful. some very precise quilters might not be completely satisfied with the way patterns can meet at the miters without more planning than the author suggests, but this technique can result in a very lovely, reasonably easy quilt.

the quilts in the book range from the romantic to the funky. the photographs and digrams are very clear. the instructions are clear and detailed, though i wouldn't suggest this for a beginner. some experience with piecing is necessary. only general suggestions for quilting and binding the finished top are given, which is fine with me, as this is a book on piecing technique. more information on finishing a quilt is available in many other books.

this book definitely belongs in a quilter's library--not just for the one fabric quilts presented, but as an inspiration to try the technique on other types of prints and include it in multi-fabric quilts.
