Rating:  Summary: Another must-have book for quilters Review: I love this book! I was having a hard time figuring out what to do with all of the fat quarters of fabric that I collect and this book gave me the answer. All of the quilts are beautiful. She gives great directions - from cutting up your scraps to making the actual quilt. I can't wait to start making one of these quilts. She also shows the each quilt using a different color theme. It is a great book - I highly recommend it if you are a fabric collector like me!
Rating:  Summary: Another must-have book for quilters Review: I really liked this book for several reasons. It gives extremely concise and clear cutting charts for the size quilt you wish to make. The examples shown in the book are extremely colorful and show good use of using mulitple fabrics and scraps. One of the designs in the book titled 'Skyrocket' shows an alternative to the traditional 'Ohio Star' which is one of my favorite blocks and I can't wait to start working on this one! I personally do a lot of 'Strip Quilting' which saves me a lot of time and I can get more done. I know short cuts for sewing and piecing on some of the examples and instructions in the book. But for even a novice or beginning quilter the instructions the book has are quite suitable. For the advanced quilters out there, this might be a handy reference guide with beautiful examples of color and fabric use.
