Scrap-Basket Beauties: Quilting with Scraps, Strips, and Jelly Rolls, by Kim Bracket, published by Martingale.
There are 18 beautiful quilt designs in this book that use 2 1/2" strips and scraps that you can use from your stash or purchase pre-cuts or yardage. Fabric requirements are provided for both pre-cuts or yardage options.
Every design comes with easy to follow instructions and great visuals, a trademark of Martingale and Kim Brackett!
Designs range from geometric to pinwheels to flowers, with sizes from from 49 1/2" x 61 1/2" to 61 1/2" x 73 1/2".
Sections are also included for Basic Quiltmaking Instructions, making this a great book for confident beginner quilters.
And, there is a section "All about 2 1/2" Wide Strips" that includes oodles of tips including cutting.
I hope you get a chance to check out this book at your local quilt shop or at Martingale's online store.

I just got this book and it is delightful. I am not a 'book' or pattern quilter, but have students that rely on them and this is a great book for beginners to have in our library.
What beautiful scrap quilts!! I wish that I was able to cut up scraps and not feel that things had to be structured.
I own Kim's first two books - which are lovely and this new one is on its way to me! Looking forward to its arrival!
Wow! these look awesome! Thank you for sharing!
I won that book and its great. Wonderful quilt patterns
Looks like another fun book by Kim!
Oh, I do love the fabric choices!!
Those are great designs - a very good book for reducing scrap stash. I cut almost all my leftovers into 2-1/2" strips.
