Liked: Whirls (curves piecing)

Otherwise cute, but kind of dated (2011.)

I had this book on my wish-list for quite awhile and was really happy to finally get my own copy. Really pretty scrap quilts! I do wish there were a few more projects in this book, maybe a few smaller things to quilt. Loved the section on how to sort out and organize scraps! Great for a just-started quilter who has some really basic knowledge of rotary cutting, piecing, and quilting.

For a book advertised as being for color lovers, I didn't think it delivered, because most of the quilts used the same color scheme, rainbow order, lights to darks. I did like the section right at the beginning about piecing ideas, and the example of how different one quilt would look if you pieced the blocks differently.

It's strange to have exact patterns on scrappy projects

If you like making scrap quilts, this is a great starting point!

Very fun projects! Loss of small bits, so if I had a stash of scraps I'd find this useful. I liked one of the patterns that could be done with yardage, the one called Hover.

Good ideas. Spurred me to think of using my scraps.
