"City Quilts" by Cherrie House is new book hot off the presses at C&T Publishing. Since I love quilts that are both simple and make use of solid color fabrics I knew from the beginning that this book would hold interest for me. Having grown up in New York City the photos in the book were quite evocative for me. I think that Ms. House did a remarkable job of designing simple but dramatic quilts reminiscent of every day city living images. Although I love using solid colors I think that the quilts in this book also lend themselves equally well to using prints. The beginning of the book includes a well done section on the basics - I like everything about this book and am looking forward to beginning one of the patterns. Also included is an excellent section on color choices, a bit of theory and tips on developing your ability to "see" patterns in everyday sights. I have collected quite a quilt library over the years and so there are not that many new books that come out that I truly want to spend the money on to add to my ever expanding collection - but this one is a good bet for your permanent collection! I don't think it will disappoint! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Beginners and veteran quilters alike will enjoy discovering the secrets of minimalism with this fantastic new volume that draws inspiration from urban cityscapes to create dramatic quilts using simple geometric shapes. In City Quilts, readers will learn how to find beauty in the basic elements of any environment, as well as how to achieve a dramatic look with more effective use of colour, value, and placement.

Cons: At points, this book feels like a less challenging version of the Modern Quilt Workshop. This was most obvious when I came across a picture of House's "Foreign Currency" quilt; is it just me, or is this almost exactly the same as MQW's "Plain Spoken?" I know they're both versions of the Chinese Coins design, as House says, but really? All I could think was "ripoff." My other main beef is that for all of the projects, supplies are only listed for the pictured quilt size - that is, yardage isn't extrapolated out for typical bed quilt sizes. I use quilt books so I don't have to do the math myself! Would it have been that much harder to include? ( )
