review 1: The premise of this book is making modern quilts using up your scraps. Almost half of the book is dedicated to dealing with scraps... what they are, how to cut them, how to store them, how to piece them, etc. There was some good information about scraps and there are instructions to make a neat little fabric box.The projects are pretty good, there were several that I liked and I always love the idea of using up scraps, except mine would not be from modern fabrics but I think the quilts would be sweet from any scraps. There is one project that I will probably make, a wall hanging with pieced background and an appliqued vine on top.This would be a great book to read on a quiet afternoon with a nice hot beverage. The projects will leave you itching to get into your studio an... mored start planning a new quilt!
review 2: I am loving this book. These girls are amazing artists, organizers, thinkers, writers...and I love how they are so inclusive- they are telling about their methods, but it's OK if you aren't as wonky as they are! And they have little kids and pets and husbands. I think they are super talented.After reading this book, I think I want to take a quilt class to learn how to use those rulers and rotary cutters.The diagrams and pictures helped me get more of an idea how these quilts come together. I liked how they showed and talked about not just the piecing, but the type of quilting they chose and why. less
