Product Description
More than 400 images of quilts from the Journal Quilt Project exploring a range of media, techniques, and subject matter.

In 2003 Karey Bresenhan, president of Quilts Inc., organized the first ever Journal Quilt Project one of the most popular exhibits ever shown at the International Quilt Festivals. Since then, hundreds of artists from around the world have participated in the Journal Quilt Project every year, making small, 8" x 11.5" quilts every month to explore new techniques, express fresh ideas, and experiment with the myriad of resources available to quilters today. Whether quilters officially participated in the Journal Quilt Project or not, thousands of quilters new and seasoned have been inspired by the Project and are using page-sized quilts as visual journals for self-expression and discovery.

Reader Reviews
The quality of the book is very impressive. 400 small quilts reproduced with comments by the makers. If you are interested in what's going on in art, and/or quiltmaking, you will enjoy having this book. I am a biased reviewer - I am proud to say I have a Journal Quilt in the book. The process of using art to keep a journal was a freeing experience. I think the book will inspire others to start their own small projects, or just be a great book to page through and enjoy.
