June 2016 This is the second collection of modernm scrap quilts
compiled by the publisher and quilter Susanne Woods. As scraooy
quilts usually remain with their makers Susanne wanted to create a
collection of quilts that would fit in well in any home so she
persuaded 15 well known designers toi create an original scrappy
quilt pattern especially for the book. This book is aimed at the
intermediate quilter becuase although the first chapter is a short
selection of basic blocks, these patterns are based on scraps so it
is presumed that you are already familiar wtih quilt making.
Included in each chapter are quilting tips and a selection of very
different designs each with clear instructions and helpful
illustrations, personally I would buy just for the beautiful
photographs alone.

find a design that matches your scraps and your style. I love the
fact that some are bright and vibrant and some are with more subtle
tamed down colours. I love the fact they are just using scraps in
your traditional way. They are beefing up the designs to make them
so much more modern. To be honest I am in love with the designs. I
love just looking through the book and arguing with myself which
one I want to make first. This book is brilliant for any quilter
that wants to make some brilliant modern quilts with their scraps.
LOVE IT!

This is a fantastic volume of incredibly handsome quilts using your
stash. There are 15 contemporary designs included, but I think they
will spark your own creativity too. All quilters have impulse buys
and this book is aimed at de-stashing, making the best of what
you’ve got. You can choose from strip-based or block-based quilts
that are pieced in different ways, making the most of your
techniques and skills. There is a section on blocks and piecing to
make sure you know the techniques. Templates are given where
necessary. Instructions seem easy to follow and the photos are
clear. I love the arcs in Twirligig, the simplicity of Letterpress,
the stylized design Fletching, not to mention the fabulous Stars
and Diamonds. All the designs are great designs from great
designers. This book has a quality feel to the silky cover.
