AMAZING READ

I wanted something interesting and engaging, and this book delivered!

I loved this book so much when I borrowed it from the library I purchased it. The quilt samples towards the back of the book are so different and unique. Definitely a must have book for quilters. I have noticed in online reviews there are mistakes in the book so If you use it, look for errata online.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Here we have a smattering of some beginner or easier type blocks as well as some more complex units. I loved how they were all broken down to really show the reader how to mix and match new creations. And there are helpful tips for simpler sewing as well as sized cutting charts! The book also shows blocks that are modern and blocks that are more traditional, but all in a way that feels new, especially with the example quilts that we see here. I liked the tips for things like utilizing negative space or cutting long pieces of fabric. I cannot wait to buy this book and add it to my quilting section of my library.

For: beginner quilters; quilters wanting a fresh take on the craft or some new ideas on laying out blocks and sashing.

Possible red flags: this is not recommended for quilters who only like traditional style quilts and quilting as there are a lot of modern techniques and suggestions for non-scrap quilt designs.
