    Buy this book.....
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2009*

....if you love fabrics, admire all the new designs of fabrics on the market as well as the traditional, and just plain love the art of quilting. For three days after receiving this book, I picked it up to read whenever possible and felt my fingers itching to create any one of the quilts shown in the book.  This book is not a "cookbook" of quilt patterns showing a particular look in piecework or to teach a certain type of quilting. Instead, the authors encourage the readers to ignore "boundaries" in the creation of quilts, and to follow their own instincts and preferences in the matter of fabric, color, thread, and even the mechanics of the quilting process. The resulting quilts are not heavily stylized, but have a homey, comfortable look, similar to an antique quilt.Each quilt shown in "Material Obsession, ranging in level of difficulty from easy to advanced, has instructions for piecing using the colors shown in the quilt, but suggestions are given throughout the book about different colorways to consider in certain patterns, or pointing out that a particular color of fabric may be needed to give the quilt a certain "punch" of color. Also helpful is a statement by the writers regarding the "idea" behind the making of each quilt, which can help provide a creative spark for the readers who want to use a favorite fabric or a grouping of fabric scraps.The book ends with a quilter's reference section, the need of which in a quilting book can often be considered debatable by an experienced quilter. However, the reference section works in this book, due to the increasing level of difficulty of the quilt patterns shown in this book, and the need for knowledge of certain skills in hand quilting, applique, and piecing shapes such as diamonds and hexagons.Since the book contains a foreword by Kaffe Fassett, don't be surprised to see a picture or two of shelves of fabric, most of Kaffe's own designs.  If you are a Kaffe Fassett fabric lover, this is just icing on the cake.  However, Kaffe's fabrics do not dominate in the quilt designs in the book; it is fun to looks at the quilts and see how many different current designer fabrics you can spot in the quilts, and see how many you may already have in your fabric stash.

    A Wonderful Book of Quilt Inspiration!
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2013*

I have fallen in love with Australian quilting.  I love their use of color in a little different way then we see in American quilts.  I guess that I am a modern, contemporary quilter and really like re-inventing the quilt than most of my peers.  I love Kaffe, Amy and all those brave souls who give us all these wonderfully colorful fabrics.  I love how our Australian quilting sisters make use of those fabric lines and others to give us quilts that read like a breath of fresh air.  Do I like all their designs, no, but then I rarely like every quilt in any quilt book. This book was a must have for my quilting library.  So wonderful to get out when I need new inspiration. Especially taking an old block and giving it new life. Well done!

    Material Obsession I
  

*by H***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2023*

I enjoy Sarah Fielke's work and am particularly interested in the Dotty for Dresden (featured on the cover). Beautiful book. Some quicker traditional patterns are also included. RECOMMEND.
