Sensational Scrap Quilts by Darra Duffy Williamson (1992, Paperback)

This book has some quilts that really are different and some that are very traditional. The author covers several variables of quilting with much emphasis on fabrics showing some dramatic effects created when you make the use of your colors, hues, patterns, etc.
This is just a nice book to have for the pictures and I found myself anxious to start a new project while brousing through the completed quilt pictures. What makes these particular quilts more than 'just a scrap quilt' into a sensational quilt is the expert use of the fabric choice.
Along with her instruction of what fabrics can do, she covers everything from start to finish. This book reveals that with some thought and imagination, you can turn a scrap quilt into an prized heirloom. She covers from start to finish the picking your fabric to the drafting, configuration, strategies, sets and borders. In the end there is a section that shows you how to add that final touch that makes the quilt special.
If you love scrap quilts, you will love this book. If you have scraps, you will need this book.

i have bought this book because i want to know what is scrap quilts and how i can make them ! very good book !

I bought it becasue the cover showed lots of quilts that look like fun scrapy quilts that I would like to make. There were a lot of photo's of quilts but not many instructions on how to make the quilts and that was what I was looking for. It is a book full of great information on quilting and would be good for a beginner, but it was just not what I thought it would be.
