Outstanding instruction!
In my large library of quilting books, this book is a stand-out. Unlike many quilting books that feature gorgeous quilts but really don't explain the techniques, this book offers an a-z explanation about how to achieve your own beautiful landscape quilts. So delighted to have invested in this book!

A wonderful assortment of techniques presented in a fun and entertaining book!
Fun and new ideas for landscape quilting! There are several projects as well as different ways to approach each project. You can mix and match as you want. This book was very well written, and entertaining enough that I read it from cover to cover.

Informative
Wonderful images and instructions with patterns. I am just beginning to quilt and landscape quilts have intrigued me from the first. Now I have a starting place and hopefully won't feel so intimidated. So many nice ideas and tips. Buy, you won't regret it.

You NEED to add this book to your quilting library!
I really love Cathy Geier's new book, Lovely Landscape Quilts. It's easy to read, several different ways of piecing with the strips are shown, as are closeups of her free motion quilting techniques. I've almost finished my first design of hers and I'm hooked. This is my favorite landscape quilt book, and believe me, I have most of them! I have several other designs in mind from the book to make after I finish this one. If you don't have this book, please add it to your collection - it's been #1 on Amazon for a good reason. Oh, and you have to check out her blog and website if you are looking for other techniques and specialty landscape fabrics to make your creations! She also just won an amazing award for her tree quilt in front of an amazing sunset - you'll be glad to have this book if you decide you want to try to make something similar. Thank you Cathy for a great, inspirational book. I can't wait to continue using this technique on other quilts!!

A quality landscape book with nice variety of techniques
I really enjoyed this book. Most authors of quilting books really only cover one narrow, specific method of working, but this book demonstrates a variety - piecing, fusing, collage, applique, and string piecing. I really enjoyed the variety. I like how she talks about different methods to achieve the results, with best practices for each method. She shows examples that use both mottled/batik/generic fabrics and others that use printed landscape fabrics like flowers.Specific projects and patterns are included, although I don't tend to use a specific pattern and just plan to use the techniques in my own project. This is a nice long book, plenty of room for details and project examples. I also really liked the gallery that showed strip landscapes from other artists besides the author. Absolutely beautiful photos.My only minor quibble with the book is that some of the fonts are a grayish text on cream paper, and I found that a bit hard to read. A mistake on the part of whoever designed the book!!Overall I really am happy with the book and have already starting using what I've learned.

Missing Appliqué pieces
Great book, however there were missing appliqués for the projects. Disappointed when I wanted to create a project. Discovered after expired return date.

great book for a beginner!
This book has loads of information in it, tip and tricks, all those missing pieces that you can't find online. I have not yet started a project, but will be shortly. A nice bonus to this boook is that there is pattern at the back. If like me you want to start a wall hanging with all your scraps this is the book for you!
