Presented on these exquisite pages are the most beautiful, most innovative quilts being designed today, all selected from the world-class 14th Biennial Quilt National Exhibition. For almost 30 years, the exposition--which travels throughout America--has served as a showcase for contemporary quilt artists who expand the boundaries of the craft. Large, spectacular color photographs, and the artists' personal commentary, will fill home quilters with inspiration over and over again. All the pieces are genuine artworks meant for display rather than practical use, and they set the standard and serve as the model for other art quilts. From computer-generated images to abstract patterns to human figures, these designs are state of the art.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is into art quilts. The Quilt National exhibit is a good indicator of trends in fiber art. I received this book shortly before I went to Quilt Festival in Houston, where Quilt National 2005 happened to be included in the special exhibits. If you can't see the quilts in person, get the book!
