    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.

    Those are great designs - a very good book for reducing scrap stash. I cut almost all my leftovers into 2-1/2" strips.
