East Quilts West

i had seen this book before I purchased it so I knew it was a good product...The book was in excelent condition and arrived quickly with no problems

Gifted Artist with a Unique Approach

The author uses simple design elements from traditional Western quilt traditions in a new and very fresh way. Her designs are intriguing and suitable for thousands of different interpretations. This lady is a real artist.

Very inspiring!

Sudo's use of repeated curves and straight lines is amazing! The quilts and blocks all look so balanced and even, but in an unusual way. There's a wonderful, off-center sort of flair to the patterns- a sort of creation of harmony from disharmony. I haven't quilted much with curved forms (they have always sounded daunting) and this book contains the first pattern that even makes me want to try. And the wonder of the book is that I would really like to try most of the patterns... What a great, creative compilation!

This book awakened my creativity.

This gift awakened my creativity. I have questions about the fabric. Looking for dialogue.
