5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite scrap quilts book, May 25, 2001

This review is from: Scrap Quilts (Paperback)

I love scrap quilts and this is my favorite book about them. In fact my copy is very well read and I love to look at the color photos.

Judy Martin covers a wide variety of patterns (traditional to contemporary) and color schemes. There are quilts with just two colors as well as some that use every color on the color wheel. Some quilts are shown in different combinations or sizes.

There is an introduction to scrap quilts and sections about fabric collecting and storing, color choices and the appropriate use of scraps as well as some hints on sewing and cutting efficently. The instructions are well illustrated and easy to view. At the end there is a section of more block patterns that could be made with scraps including some ideas on how to place scraps with each block and the necessary templates for these blocks.

Judy Martin's "Scrap Quilts" is a great book with superb pictures and extremely well-written directions for a number of beautiful quilts. The quilts include some traditional ones as well as new and innovative ones.

This book, not unlike Judy's other scrap pattern books, gives great tips on how to cut, sew and set the patterns given. There is a small section in the back with traditional patterns and her tips on them. I appreciate her outlook on scrap quilting, and actually own two other books I highly recommend with this one. As always, I give Judy an A+ for this book.
