You all know that I’m a big fan of scrap quilts so when I had the opportunity to review another book for C&T Publishing I said yes!
Modern Scrap Quilts written by Sylvia Schaefer
I’m not what would be considered a modern quilter – I love playing with traditional blocks and scraps and typically don’t have much negative space in my quilts but there’s lots to see and learn in the book about scrap quilts even if you aren’t a modern quilter.
After reading through tips on sorting and choosing fabrics, I focused on some of the quilts that appealed to me.
I LOVE flying geese and this quilt also had an option of using lighter colored blocks in the background in place of the black and white prints – I like both options.
String quilts are a favorite of mine as you know and this one is pretty.
I also love how this one fades going from dark at the bottom to light at the top. Versions of all 3 of these will make it to my “quilts I want to make” list!
If you’d like to win a copy of the digital book leave a comment on this post and I will draw TWO winners on Thursday.
