5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the favorite book of our quilt group, October 29, 1999

By A Customer

This is a wonderful book filled with great quilts. It is the best scrap quilt book I have seen so far. Almost all of my quilting friends purchased it after browsing through mine. It is a real treasure in my quilt book collection. The instructions are easy and there are a lot of great tips and shortcuts in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a really excellent scrap quilt book!, September 23, 2005

By	Circejane (Michigan) - See all my reviews

I had been frustrated with previous scrap quilt and fat quarter quilt books that often called for significant yardage of certain fabrics, and then a few small pieces of fabric. I need something to do with all my bits and pieces--when I have lots of yardage, I'll go with a conventional pattern, thank you! This book is chock full of interesting quilts that truly utilize your scrap collection. I can easily pick out eight or ten quilts that I'd like to do from this book--usually it's hard to find more than five from any given publication that one actually wants to try. The book is well-laid out, too, and the patterns are easy to follow and able to be completed in a reasonable amount of time. I now grin gleefully whenever I get new scraps, because thanks to this book, I have plans for them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enough ideas for a lifetime!, January 8, 1999

By	Teri Dougherty ([e-mail]) (Indianapolis, Indiana) - See all my reviews

This is a terrific book of scrap quilts, with a quilt for every taste and occasion. There are quilts using reproduction fabrics from the Nineteenth Century to the Thirties, as well as flannels and other cottons. Most quilts are perfect for the beginning quilter, yet interesting enough for the expert. As a quilt shop owner, I would say that if you could only buy one book of different quilt designs, buy this one!
