This book is for the experienced quilter. The designs are absolutely stunning and very inspiring.
The finished quilts are small, so you are not wasting much time and fabric if you do go wrong, but what is amazing about these tiny creations is the beauty of the designs that clearly makes you want to make one. The explanations are easy to follow, but the techniques and additional decoration call for some embroidery skills, applique and a knowledge of free motion sewing. There are some pattern sheets included,and while each design is meant to be a mini quilt, I think a few blocks together would make one stunning larger  throw.
4*/5Kumiko Frydl was born and grew up in Tokyo, Japan.

Her educational background is in commercial arts and dress making; her journey into quilting began only after she moved to Canada, and she and her husband began to travel extensively. Frydl began to concentrate her efforts mainly on miniature quilts as they are easier to transport, and she began to enjoy the detailed and precise workmanship required for this discipline.

Kumiko Frydl currently lives in Texas, USA, and regularly displays her quilting works at exhibitions worldwide.CN
