Fantastic Fabric Folding: Innovative Quilting Projects [Paperback] Review

Fantastic Fabric Folding: Innovative Quilting Projects [Paperback]Compared to many quilting books, this one is easy to use and offers fresh ideas.It provides detailed step-by-step instructions with photographs.There are photos on almost every page--this makes the book more stimulatingthan many quilting books that rely on black and white diagrams anddrawings.In addition to the table of contents, the book offers a usefulindex and bibliography. With this book, even people who have never doneorigami (or used folding techniques) can add this method to their quilting.However, this may not be the book for those who want to make quilts thatlook traditionally Japanese.The book's kimono designs are very Japaneselooking, but the quilting arrangements are not typically Japanese. Forthose interested in making authentically Japanese looking quilts, I wouldrecommend "Honoring the Seasons" (1996) by Takako Onoyama. Still,"Fantastic Fabric Folding" is a great book for those who wouldlike to add some Japanese flavor and new designs to their quilts.
