I recently saw Jean Wells books suggested for expanding one's creativity. I'm wanting to put one on my Christmas Wish list and wondered which one is best for giving readers ways to develop creativity and design. any thoughts??

If you're interested in intuitive design and improv quilts, I'd say the first one I mentioned up above, Intuitive Color & Design. It has exercises so you can practice what she's talking about, but she never tells you what to make, just how to make it. The design is always your own. Amazon let's you 'look inside'.

The other book I mentioned, Journey to Inspired Quilting, is a continuation of the first with more design guidelines and exercises (I have both).

Here's her website. http://www.jeanwellsquilts.com/index.html

Sherri Lynn Wood teaches an improv workshop that makes similar looking quilts. There is a quilt along on her website and it looks like she is releasing a book in 2015.

Not sure if I am correct here or if my memory is right. The other day while waiting in line at the grocery store I picked up and glanced at Fresh Quilts, I think, it is a magazine with a good deal of modern quilting. I thought I saw something sort of similar to this. But then I am not sure. Until I looked closely at this quilt, did it start to appeal to me. I guess I am so used to lines of squares that work together. This is nice.

Does anyone know where there are tutorials for piecing something like this? I know it's modern, but not sure what exactly to google.

I'd be inclined to Google "insanity." Sorry, no idea; however the way it is put together I would venture a guess that if you "winged" it you could probably come darn close.

It's more complicated than you think. It's really meant for those of us not wanting to make the same stars and snowflakes in boxes that people have been making for centuries.
