I am a reasonably accomplished seamstress but have yet to venture into
the world of quilting. I was recently inspired by a program on PBS
about art quilting. Can someone recommend a good book, that is not too
basic, for me to get started. Also, I saw a book on Art Nouveau Quilts
in a shop when I was visiting Seattle but I can't find it on Amazon.
Does anyone know of it and can give me the title?

I wish I could help you with your hunt for this book, but I dont know it. I
will be watching this thread tho as Art Nouveau is one of my favorite
flavors. Id never heard of anyone doing quilts in this style.

I recommend Lorraine Torrnce, _Design Essentials: The Quilters Guide_ for a not
too basic book to get you started with art quilting.

Is _Beautiful Quilts: Art Deco: Making Classic Quilts and Modern Variations by
Jenni Dobson and Penny Brown the book you're thinking of?
