This one is emphatically for miniaturists, for whom quilting is an adjunct activity to building and/or decorating doll houses. It doesn't shed any new light on piecing technique, process, or design. Which, really, is probably obvious from the cover/description/and various Amazon reviews.
For the doll house completists, however, it does offer good insight on selecting fabrics for use in teeny, tiny doll house quilts; as well as solid instruction on the basics of piecing, for those who aren't already quilters.
This one is what it says it is, I just really don't like the abundance of swirly, rainbow hand dyed fabric. In my heart of low brow hearts, I really like commercial fabrics.
His guidelines for fracturing the quilts are interesting, but not so hard as they require regular consultation. Check this one out from the library.
