Summary: Geometry made easy
Comment: Back in high school I barely got out of geometry so I was truly amazed when Jinny Beyer was able to teach me how to create tessellations. She simplified the process and not only gave me a number of examples but also gave me the tools to create my own tessellations.

Summary: More than quilts!
Comment: This book is awesome! Jinny's insights and labeling system to unlock the mystery of these interlocking motifs is the best source I have found, yet! My purpose for investigating tessellations was for a design project for a class I teach, "Advanced Photoshop for Designers." The first stage of this assignment was research. My students and I searched all over the internet for insightful tips etc, with regard to this artform. We came up pretty dry....until I found Jinny's book. I'm applying some of her extremely helpful insights and basic symmetry theory to Adobe Photoshop. Working with the Shape layers and paths. Jinny's book is written so well, with very easy to understand instruction on how to create tessellating shapes from a variety of basic geometric shapes. The illustrustions, color plates, printing job and paper, are all of the highest quality. The quilts she has created using these methods are amazing and beautiful! This book could be extremely useful to an audience other than the one I assume it was intended for. Educators who teach Illustration, graphic design, interior design, & textile design. Math teachers and art teachers, of all grade levels could benefit from this book, to come up with exiting and educational projects for their students. I LOVE this book. Thanks to Jinny, for being so smart...now I don't have to drive myself crazy (which, I was) trying to figure out the style of MC Escher, one of my most favorite artists!

Summary: Graph Paper, Pencil and Go
Comment: Escher meets my fabric stash! Toss out the kids and the dog and put on your thinking cap and follow the logical steps to learn the simple technique. If you concentrate, you can quickly draft remarkable connections between your shapes or ideas. I'm not too mathematically inclined, but with graph paper (and a good eraser) I found the easy to understand theories simple to apply.
This book is a must if you want totally originally quilts that no one else has ever designed before. A must for any quilter who enjoys puzzles and originality.
