5.0 out of 5 starsCombine the Fun of Scrapbooking with the Durability of Quilting
By Penny D. Haren on December 23, 2007
Format: Paperback
Ellen has figured out a way to "treat" fabric so that it has the best properties of paper AND fabric. In effect, she has combined the instant gratification of scrapbooking with the permanence and durability of fabric! We now have the best of both worlds! After the fabric is treated, it can be cut with rotary cutters, circle cutters, paper punches - pretty much anything you use for paper - into any shape you want! Then, you "glue" it to the canvas foundation!

The designs - and sizes - are limitless. And, the pictures in the book will get your creative juices flowing! Some of the examples have a very contemporary feel - squares within squares, rectangles within rectangles - in the hottest colors such as turquoise and brown. Others are more traditional and have the feel of quilts.

And, don't be intimidated by the supply list! Ellen includes all the manufacturers and product names. What you can't buy at your local quilt shop, is available at the hardware store! You may even be able to get your hubby involved!

5.0 out of 5 starsEasy, spectacular, and practical!
By Kristin O'callaghan on October 31, 2007
Format: Paperback
I took Ellen's first class on floorquilts and was amazed by the creative possibilities offered by floorquilts. I like to sew and quilt, but this technique--which is completely original--is available to anyone. You can literally make ANYthing you can envision for a rug. And the best part is that the rug is totally practical. I made one with a white background and, because it's sealed, it stayed completely white. It's perfect for high traffic areas. I can't recommend this book enough. The only problem is that it may breed a new obsession!!

5.0 out of 5 starsFabric fun!
By thursdancer on November 8, 2007
Format: Paperback
This is a perfectly detailed book on how to create fun floor quilts. It explains step by step the process of creating floor quilts. Before I even finished my first one I was already planning my second and third one. This requires no previous quilting know how. Once you start to create these fun floor mats and other projects it becomes addicting.

This book is a crafters must! Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 starsWOW!!
By creative quilter VINE VOICE on November 6, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I love the concept and it looks as if it will be great fun. The only disappoinment is the difficulty the correct weight canvas. And I live in a large city so it shouldn't be that difficult. To obtain the canvas on line will be expensive.

I have been in communication with the author to see if I could do a few things differently and to ask why she recommends certain processes. She was super quick to respond and VERY helpful. She sounds delightful and I wish she were holding a class in my area. The book is full of good ideas and I am looking forward to having some fun with it once the holidays are over. I definitely recommend it if you enjoy crafting and/or quilting, particularly that which is unique and useful at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 starsjust fantastic idea
By discerning consumer on January 18, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I should wait to write this review til I try this but the book itself is one of the best craft books I own (and my libary of craft books is in the several hundreds of books). VERY clear instructions. A wonderful number and variety of patterns which will inspire you to think of others and not just copy the ones in the book. I cannot wait to try this.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful, fun craft
By Unhappy customer on May 20, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Years ago, my grandmother made floor coverings during the great depression out of scrap items. This wonderful book is a modern day version of her creations. I highly recommend it for a fun craft. I don't sew per se but found this great fun. I am a fabric doll artist and had lots of fabric scraps laying around that made a great floor quilt. I followed the instructions in the book, which were quite clear, and made a free form design that has become one of my favorite projects. If you are a traditional quilter I believe you will have a lot of fun creating the floor quilts.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood instructions and cool process, but....
By D. Schmitz on November 7, 2007
Format: Paperback
I was super excited to get this book (even pre-ordered it!) the idea is very cool, especially since I am currently shopping for a floorcovering for my quilting room! The instructions and how-to are very well organized and written. However, for anyone beyond a beginner quilter, I think the pattern/designs will be found to be lacking. They are very basic, the cover image is the best one in my opinion. With a little creativity, though, the sky is the limit in creating your own designs!

This is an awesome step by step book that clearly explains the process of making decoupage floor cloths...... beautifully written with pictures for the visual learners like me :-)

5.0 out of 5 starsOh Yeah. More things to do with my fabric stash

This book describes another use of fabric scraps that uses "large" pieces (if I so wish) instead of a quilt or wall piece. Fun. Mixed media with major function.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat book for a beginner

I managed to make a spectacular floor quilt following the directions in the book. I was not particularly impressed with most of the examples, although there were a few stand outs.

3.0 out of 5 starsSomething different in quilting

The book itself is very good with good instructions. But nowhere does it say that the floor mat will easily slip on wood or tile floors. Read more
