Review: I am not a beginner quilter. I came by this book for ideas and a new selection of blocks. There are easy to read instructions and pictures to aid in your placement of pieces. I have choosen blocks for our quilt guild to use for Block of the Month. I have enjoyed it and am now purchasing another copy for my mother.

Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: I am not a fan of scrappy quilts but couldn't resist this book when I saw the beautiful color combinations inside. I heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in using up all those small pieces of fabric that you know we all have. :-))) Her system is easy enough for beginners and inspirational enough for those of us who have been around the "block" a time or two. Enjoy!

Review: This is one of the very best books about Scrap Quilts. Altho there are no instructions for the pictured quilts and drawings, Ms. Thomas'idea is for us to design our own quilts, based on a presentation of 20 block designs, and to learn how to combine 1 or 2 of these blocks into a unified quilt design.But the best thing about this book is the author's approach to fabric selection which is based on 3 different "recipes" that virtually assures us of quilts in which the colors stand out and the quilt design flows beautifully from block to block. An added bonus is that instructions are given for making a pair of blocks at a time. These blocks can be made from just one fat quarter (or less) each of the 2 or 3 prints which make up the individual block design.
