I perused this book and found it to be very interesting. Then I noticed that in the back of the book there was a CD rom. WOW! This was a fabulous addition to the book. On it is a half hour workshop with Carol Doak and Nancy Martin, showing you exactly how to choose fabrics from your stash for absolutly stunning quilts. I canot tell you what a wonderful addition this CD rom is to help visually explain the information included in the book. The patterns are exciting, the pictures are great. Some of the blocks are traditionally pieced and some are foundation pieced. This is a fabulous book. I'm a quilting teacher and I plan to encourage my students to buy this book.
