THIS book has the cutest quilts! I love the house quilt. Ditto the courthouse steps, string star, nine patch in a nine patch and many of the other quilts. ALL the quilts use pre-cuts making them faster to use.

My daughter already asked for several of the quilts done in "her colors." Love how she gives me work to do.

I have several of Edyta Sitar's quilting books and have made some of her patterns in the past. Love her beautiful work and this book focuses on using strips of scrap fabrics which I have plenty of and have used to make log cabin quilts in the past. Will chose one of these to do in the near future.

Good pattern designs, though the color palette is a bit too dark/muted for my tastes.
