Applique Masterpiece: Little Brown Bird Patterns [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

I found this book to be an absolute delight. The illustrations are exquisite and Margaret Doherty's conversational style is easy to read and understand. I learned a lot of new techniques, for instance, using parts of a large scale fabric to piece a very small bird. In one instance, she used a cobblestone fabric for the birds breast.
I am interested in developing small projects and feel that any one of the 40 squares would make a masterpiece item.
A quote from the author's preface: "I work as a pediatrician and each night after dinner, I do a crossword puzzle and sew for about six hours." sums up the author'sapproach to this form of fabric work. The challenge in looking at fabrics, colors, and techniques in a new way is worth the price of the book.
