Raves and Reviews

You'd think this project would be complicated, but easy piecing and quick quilt construction techniques promise easy duplication of complex-looking designs.

– The Midwest Book Review

Miller clearly has an eye for colour and for the dramatic use of colour gradations in the quilts. Some quilts almost glow on the page and are inspiring in the combinations used.
