Laurel Burch Legends: 9 Quilts Inspired by the Earth, Sea & Sky [Paperback] Review

Laurel Burch Legends: 9 Quilts Inspired by the Earth, Sea & Sky [Paperback]Laurel Burch's fabrics, designs and projects are stunning! She has a `perfect' eye for what makes a successful project and has given her fans the opportunity to enter her world of creativity with Laurel Burch Legends. Quilters are allowed to `copy' or use her ideas as a jumping off point in their own creative journey.

Laurel Burch Legends showcases 9 projects that will excite and challenge quilters. The projects are not for the novice quilter. But their beauty will give the new quilter something to aim for.

Each project provides detailed directions. The photographs are brilliant and large enough to see much of the quilt's detail. There are even patterns that tell the quilter how much enlargement is needed. The section on tips and techniques for applique and embellishment is extremely helpful. I particularly enjoyed the sections on painting and stamping fabric. The Resources and Bibliography page will direct the quilter to the products referenced in the book.

My favorite project is the Folkloric Fish. It's a 13" by 36" machine appliqued quilt. The colors are brilliant, the fish are whimsical and it's small enough that it can be made in a relatively short period of time.

If you love art quilting, Laurel Burch Legends is a great book. You can follow her directions or veer off in your own direction, using her patterns as a guide.

Armchair Interviews says: The result will be delicious.
