The last few years, Kaffe's annual books have caught my fancy and this year's triggers thoughts of getting quilt design ideas as we look around the surroundings. Also, Kaffe's pieces are reminders of how fabric selection has such an affect on results. You may not "like" all presented pieces -- but, the book was a very good "read" for me, time well-spent/enjoyed and Kaffe's books are always informative while being organized well and this book was not an exception to that.
