Another fabulous resource from Angela Walters! I love the diverse ideas and how beautifully complicated everything is here. That being said, I feel as though this is a book to use once collection 1 is mastered as this is much more complicated. I will have to work up to these, but I will admire looking at them until I get there!

For: quilters needing new inspiration; quilters who have mastered collection 1.

Red flags: not recommended for beginners.

There were several new designs in this book that I may use on Nora's quilting FMQ.

I have to admit that I thought "Collection 2" would be redundant or unnecessary but I was very wrong. It's just as good and at least as useful as the first. I do well with examples so I think the-more-the-better really helps me. I'm very motivated to use and improve my skills with free-motion. Be sure to see the earlier Shape book and Walters' workbook, too.

Great ideas for different shapes, borders, and negative space.
