With her hand-dyed fabrics, layering techniques, negative space and freeform outlines, Lintault pushes the envelope of quilt making. Readers will have valuable insights into her artistic process. Striving to have quilts recognized as serious art, Lintault employs her knowledge of "the language of art" in her creations. While some of the authors technical processes are explained in the book, this is less of a "how to" book, but instead it is a great inspirational book.
