See, it's fun to try it!<br/><br/>Both those books are excellent..not just for art quilters, but to everyone as they work with the priciples of good design that can be applied to any kind of quilting OR art.<br/><br/>The next thing you need is a subscription to Quilting Arts magazine..for the same reasons. <br/><br/>good for you...expanding your horizons yet again! I am thrilled!!! OK, love the string quilt..it looks great!

BUT, you know I have to say somehting here….I LOVE IT!!!

I have The Uncommon Quilter too. I can't believe she did a quilt a week for 7 years! It is a very good book. I usually don't do postcards but I might now. I love the purple border on that quilt.
