A good book for quilting ideas and inspiration. Some of the ideas are vary basic: chevrons, whole cloth, rail fence. Yes, she does a modern take on these, but I was hoping for more.
Also her quilting is really uninspired. She does the same s curve for almost every quilt.

I Loooooooove Denyse Schmidt so much. Here she explains 20 historic quilting designs, as well as provides instructions to make modern versions of these traditional motifs. Pay careful attention to her fabric choices, too. I highly recommend her earlier book as well: [b:Denyse Schmidt Quilts: 30 Colorful Quilt and Patchwork Projects|434525|Denyse Schmidt Quilts 30 Colorful Quilt and Patchwork Projects|Denyse Schmidt|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174748150s/434525.jpg|423460]. I totally wish I had her talent and drive.

I liked short histories of different quilt patterns, but I wanted more of it. I may try a few of the patterns or simply draw inspiration from it. Not a bad book, but few things really stood out to me.

While the quilts themselves are far more meticulous and detailed than I would ever make, I do *love* the historical background and wonderful stories she has for each pattern. Postage Stamp was my favorite. The designs are beautiful and well laid out for someone looking for a sewing challenge.
