These passions finally found a common ground in quilting, which she quickly discovered to be a wonderful and timeless creative outlet as well as one filled with a rich history. It also keeps one quite toasty on a cold, rainy day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recipe for the creative quilter October 9, 2011

By Art Adventurer

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

A refreshing approach to modern scrap quilting. If you love color & simply can't bear to toss out those beautiful bits of extra fabric this is the book for you. Nothing too difficult to tackle technically since the book focuses more on providing a recipe for color & design rather than worry about sewing techniques. Any quilter interested in stepping away from traditional patterns will enjoy this approach. Whether your interested in a weekend project or a larger quilt "Scrap Republic" is a delightful study in color & design. So dig out those scraps and don't be afraid to play! This would be a fun addition to any quilters library. I look forward to checking out Ms Cier's first book "Quilt Remix" Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love ALL of Emily Cier's work! October 24, 2011

I just bought this book for myself, and am sending another copy to my quilting sister-in-law. I also have Emily's first book, Quilting Remix; I love her sense of color, shape and the unusual geometry of her patterns. Clear, easy to understand instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful reference April 11, 2012

By Lora Lee Douglas

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I like this book very much. It is a quilt project book containing 8 projects with some basic technique instructions. Ms. Cier gives instructions for making the projects from your own scraps and also from yardage in case you don't have a stash of scraps. The quilts in this book are very modern, colorful and scrappy. Some of the quilts in this book can be tackled by a beginner quilter, but others would require knowledge of techniques beyond the scope of this book, such as different methods of applique. While I may not make any of the quilts in the book, I will refer to it often for inspiration.
