There are so many new fun books that focus on a more "MODERN"
style of quilting.
This book contains the building blocks to get you quilting.
I loved the short, well written, lessons on HUE, CONTRAST, VALUE & SCALE.
There are 16 projects that combine designer prints & solid fabrics.
You will find Quilts, Pillows, Bags & more.....
If you never buy a book unless you plan to make at least 5 projects
from it.....You will be inspired to make so many more.
The projects contain just enough structure to get you creating,
yet not too technical to keep even a beginner from attempting them.
You will never look at solids in the same way!
I think you will really enjoy this book!

So many of the wonderful new fresh fabrics available come
in large scale prints.
This may create a challenge when selecting a pattern.
This book packs a lot of punch in it's 20 pages!
You get 9 designs......which will give you a great opportunity
to create using those wonderful large scale prints.
I really love the charts which give you size choices from Lap size to Queen.
There is also a pattern for a wonderful tree skirt and a super fun table runner.
The color photos are very well done and the instructions & layouts
are clear and concise.
With a price of $16.00....I think it is an especially great value!
