Strip-Smart Quilts II, by Kathy Brown

First, I want to congratulate Kathy Brown for another wonderful new book.  Strip-Smart Quilts II is definitely an excellent resource for quilters that want to make fun and fast quilts using strip smart techniques that Kathy shares in her new book.

Kathy  has previously authored four books published by Martingale, designed 12 fabric lines and self-published more than 125 patterns and seven booklets. Her work has also been featured in numerous quilting magazines. She is also a well known teacher and lecturer that travels across the United States.  And, she is the owner of Teacher's Pet, and the designer of the popular Fat Quarter Cutter, a Creative Grids ruler.

Kathy's previous books, published by Martingale include:



"Strip-Smart Quilts II - Make 16 Triangle Quilts with One Easy Technique", by Katy Brown and published by Martinale is a new book that is a "must have" book for any quilter that enjoys working with strip sets, as well as those looking for fun and fast quilts that create beautiful results.




All of the new designs in this book are fun and fast quilts, made with one super easy technique that Kathy shares in this book.
