Crossroads designed to accompany a new exhibition of the art quilts of celebrated Nancy Crow, created during 2006 and 2007. This collection of 25 improvisational quilts represents work from three distinct series of quilts. Together, they mark a turning point in the career of one of the world's most admired textile artists, as she experiments with new techniques. All are photographed in beautiful detail. Work-in-progress photographs invite readers inside Nancy Crow's studio.

"This collection of quilts demonstrates the continuing vitality of Nancy Crow's creative output. Her strengths as a colorist, designer, craftsperson, and visual thinker are in clear evidence here. But beyond those abilities, it is Crow's willingness to take risks in the studio that has brought her to this compelling place in her career. She shows a kind of courage in her working procedures that few artists are able to sustain past youth or the first flush of recognition. That she still enters her workspace with her head full of questions and the nerve to keep experimenting and exposing herself to potential failure, marks her seriousness as an artist and her quality as an example."
David Hornung, Adelphi University, New York
