1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Scraps Organized to Perfection (Paperback)
This book wasn't what the title implies - it is not specifically about organizing your fabric or scraps. While it touches on the subject, it is mainly just another quilt book with projects. Wanted a book that would tell me how to handle the bits of fabric or give storage and organization ideas. There must be enough information out there for someone to fill a whole book with photos and tips on how how quilters store their stuff.

Not what I wanted to know,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scraps Organized to Perfection (Paperback)
The advertising for this book implies that it will help a person get organized. Actually there are only three pages that have any suggestions at all about organizing your scraps. All the rest of it is patterns for scrap quilts, which are ok, but none of them offers any suggestions about organization. Perfection is nowhere to be found here.

Also disappointed!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scraps Organized to Perfection (Paperback)
I agree with previous reviewers - title is misleading. I've seen much better coverage of how to organize your fabrics in books that don't claim to be on that subject! There are some nice patterns for scrap quilts but shame on publisher for not giving it a more accurate title. ADDITION: Look at the more recent reviews carefully! Someone was obviously padding the reviews with positive ones . . . most REAL purchasers who are not married to the author or otherwise have an invested interest don't like this book!!!
