The book starts with an interesting Preface by Barbara Brackman on the History of Scrap Quilting, and has 12 projects that are great for using your scrap stash. With the costs of fabric now, using our stash is a wonderful way to make some special quilts. Lissa gives some great tips on what makes a good scrap quilt through out the book.
If you are like me, you have a lot of miscellaneous blues in your stash. This quilt called Friendship Blues is a great way to use a wide range of light and dark blues. The quilts uses squares which are quick and easy to cut out - maybe you have a stack all ready to go!
Another one of my favorite quilts from the book is called Kismet. This is a Courthouse Steps pattern.
It's great to have another book on using your scraps and Lissa does a wonderful job. Look for it in your local quilt shops, or online at shopmartingale.com

ReplyDeleteIt is a toss up between red and green. Not because of holiday quilts, but because I was making a quilt of red and white and another out of greens. I have more than enough for each quilt, but I can't seem to stop shopping for and buying more of those colors!
ReplyDeleteI love blue so it is blue for sure.
ReplyDeleteI somehow always end up with more blues than any other color, (because blues ARE my favorites!) I have a lot of favorites, though, and also have a lot of batiks and brights!

ReplyDeleteI seen to have a lot of oranges and reds. I need to collect more colors!
ReplyDeleteright now it looks like aqua/turquoise wins.
ReplyDeleteBlue and more blue, prints, solids, batiks are all shades of blue. I use pink, red or yellow as a pop color for some excitement or an off white for a calm and serene feel. My favorite color? Blue & more blue!
