Denyse Schmidt Quilts: 30 Colorful Quilt and Patchwork Projects [Paperback] Review

I am a long-time quilter who loves modern patterns and innovative design; I was so excited to see this book.When it arrived I knew after flipping through it once that I would be returning it--and I never return quilt books. Be aware that hardly any of the patterns are for quilts--most are for household objects. And what's frustrating about those patterns for things like slippers is that they don't seem as though they would produce results that are going to hold up well.Oh well.I'd recommend that non-beginners skip this and get two great Kerr/Ringle books: Color Harmony for Quilters and The Modern Quilt Workshop instead.
