Quilting book, by Jan Mullen

This is a great book for the beginner(which I am) all the way up to advanced. I love the choice of colors that Jan Mullen uses, as well as her ('ish') method. For instance in this book, no 1/4" seam allowance . . . it is 1/4ish" seam allowance. It is fun, and takes on a whole new approach on quilting, no straight lines, everything is 'askew' but ends up a straight square. Nothing but Fun/bright quilts in here!

Great book for making great quilts

I have made 2 of the Milky Wayz quilt from the book and they are so fun and easy. Jan's directions and pictures were very easy to follow. This would be a great technique for a beginner since you don't have to worry so much about matching. The best thing about Jan's method is that the cutting part (which I hate) is much shorter since your pieces are all 4"-ish or 5"-ish and so on. Plus it's fun to just cut at wacky angles and it gives your quilts a quirky fun element. Great for quilts for kids.I can't wait to make another quilt from the book.

A must for all aspiring textile artists

Cut Loose Quilts is for those who are aspiring to take their creativity and art to a new level! This book helps one to create quilts that are "out of the box," and is a great first step in using your artistic intuition. Jan Mullen clearly illustrates step by step the process of choosing fabrics, designing, and constructing a quilt. She has plenty of quilt designs as examples, and always is encouraging of you to create your own. The designs are fun and funky takes on many traditional blocks, as well as the license to stray from the conventional. This is one of my most favorite books!

marching to a different drummer!!

This book is a step off the beaten path. For those of you who want to do something DIFFERENT,fun & wimsical.Simple well illustrated instructions. Just can't keep from smiling when you see these quilts!

Cool Quilt Book

This is a cool, interesting , and easy to understand book. The quilts shown are amazing and I can't wait to apply the techniques to ANY quilt pattern. That's the COOL part. The techniques in this book can be used to "cut-loose" any basic quilt pattern/block. The idea of not having to be exact and totally accurate is so appleaing!!!!! Freedom to break the rules!!!! HURRAY!!! My machine awaits!!:)
