RaNae Merrill is a very clever author, as she has managed to simplify a technique that looks terrifying, and has made it understandable! Simply Amazing Spiral Quilts has been broken down into manageable chunks so that you can process the information offered. You firstly ‘Meet the Spirals’ and learn to draw four different types of spiral. Then go on to ‘Designing With Spirals’, and ‘Sewing Spirals’, before tackling the five incredible projects. There is a lot of information to digest, but the effort is worth it. Included in this book is a CDROM with Spiral Design Templates, and every step of the way, you will find indexing, linkages, references and Electric Quilt instructions. Each project uses foundation piecing. This has to be one of the most comprehensively detailed books I have come across. RaNae answers question before you can even ask them! Among other resources she recommends EQ Printables Foundation Sheets and Add-a-quarter tools. The recommended reading list includes The Experts Guide to Foundation Piecing by Jane Hall, and Visual Coloring by Joen Wolfrom, Color Play by Joen Wolfrom. If you want to take your quilt-making to new heights of creativity, this is the book for you.
