Beautiful book, Jan 12 2003

Both "The Quiltmaker's Gift" & "Quilts from The Quiltmaker's Gift" are incredibly beautiful, the illustrations absolutely stunning, the colors rich, the pictures unique.

You don't HAVE to use the fabric line, but it's wonderful. There are some errors, the quiltmakersgift site has corrections.
