Nobody does piecing quite like Ruth McDowell. She simplifies and yet brings visual complexity to the work. When Quilters Gather is no exception, Ruth brings wonderful patterns of quilters camaraderie and process we all experience when creating a quilt in a class or alone. She also gives you enough information to go on your own to create your own inspirational choices in design and how to select fabric.
