Amazon.com Review
Over a decade ago, Gai Perry developed the fascinating but time-consuming piecing process she dubbed Impressionist quilting. More recently, she realized that this same technique is ideally suited to a much smaller scale, and therefore much quicker to make. She also discovered that by framing these little creations they instantly become works of art. In Do-It-Yourself Framed Quilts: Fast, Fun & Easy Projects, Perry offers nine step-by-step projects for small, wall-mountable quilts (five in her Impressionist style and four more traditional in technique). There's also lots of advice about matting and framing the finished pieces. A gallery of two dozen framed works provides yet more enticing examples of these miniature treasures. --Amy Handy
