In this book, the author shares the stories and work of 80 renowned modern quilters, as well as the techniques and patterns that serve as the foundation of the craft.

Their ideas, quilts, tips, tutorials, and techniques will inspire you to try something new and follow your own creativity — wherever it leads.
