Modern Nature-Inspired Quilts: Make 25 Beautiful Projects - No Rulers or Templates Required (Design Originals)

I love this book! This is a different slant on cutting shapes for blocks. The quiltmakers have you cut a rougher shape, not a pinpoint exact shape. All of the quilts are beautiful, but the Tree Quilt on the cover sold me. It's a gorgeous feast for the eyes. If you're going to buy one new quilt book this year, this is it. You won't be disappointed!

What a great book. I hope to be inspired to create something as beautiful as the quilts Ms. Mayr has made. The piecing techniques are presented in a way that make you ask "Why didn't I think of that?" Anyone with a modicum of quilting experience would be able to use her technique. I am not a creative designer but this book gives me hope. :)

Beautiful designs, and it is freeing to be able to cut without following specific measurements. However, that doesn't mean the quilts are any faster to make than those cut with very specific measurements. There are so many nice patterns in this book that it is hard to know where to start. Also, some of them use scraps, which is always a good thing!

It's ok. I wasn't too impressed at my first readings. It's a little more complicated that I prefer. I was expecting new designs with large pieces that maybe could be used with layer cakes. I am sure that I will appreciate it later. I still look through it about once a week.

Nice book to browse

Easy to follow - some really good ideas.

This is a new way for me to construct quilts. It is an inspirational book that will cause me to grow as a quilter while creating some fun designs.

Some great ideas and beautiful quilts but not for the faint hearted or beginner

Excellent source book

Gorgeous book with some new and unusual patterns, really inspiring.

Beautiful quilts, nice instructions. This book definitely exceeded my expectations. The quilts are modern as per the title and the instructions are well-written. I like the fact that the book doesn't waste page space with fluffy text or quotes - it just gets to the job of explaining how to make each of the beautiful quilts in the book.

Not particularly improvisational.
