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.

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.

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!!!

I must thank the honest reviewers of this book. My money is hard-earned and I hate to waste it on false information. If you will notice that all of the reviews giving this book 5 stars have very similar writing styles...even using identical language. Also, please note the date for these great reviews. Same person, same day, I bet. Glad for the insight of those before me.

I have bought this book for a class I am going to take. Nice book. I hear there is a problem with some of the pages falling out, but I have not experienced that yet.

This book was fantastic! I don't know how I've lived without it! Extremely helpful, Deloa Jones is an absolute genius!! I highly recommend everybody interested in quilting buy this book!

Deloa Jones, I believe you saved my life. I was sinking into a pit. A pit known as foolishly patterned quilting. I was starting to drink excessivly (Thanks to my good friend the captain.) and my wife left me for a French man named Pierre. I had to get her back. The only way: Quilt the best Quilt possible. Thanks to your book I successfully conquered my drinking problem (I'm now down to a 24 pack a day) and got my wife back (for a while, she came to get her stuff then moved to France.) All in all, this book changed me into the man you see before you today: Short, fat and slightly scared.

This book was fantastic. I don't know how I've lived so long without it!! Deloa Jones is an absolute genius!! I would just like to thank her for writing such a fantastic book!!!

This book was exremely helpful, it was fantastic. I don't know how I have lived without it! I highly recommend everybody buy it and read it, it's great!
