I was so excited to find a book that utilized big prints but then I cut all pieces for Big Thunder only to find out the setting triangles were cut too small and after trying to sew one row I had to cut down the squares to fit the setting triangles. I wonder if the patterns were tested from the written text.

Large fabrics can be a challenge. They are beautiful but not always easy to use in a quilt. This book meets the challenge in the way most do....by using lots of squares. It was not a disappointment, indeed there are a couple of very lovely quilts that I might one day make, but it is also not excessively inspirational. The designs, while done with care and nicely photographed, are pretty basic. If you are looking for some good basic ideas for those large prints you have, this is a nice book to use. If you are looking for some special inspiration or clever ideas, you will be disappointed.
