I normally would not rate how-to books, however, this one surpasses all others. It's probably the best quilting book that I have, especially when it comes to using your scraps.

All the designs are great and inspirational with great photos, directions, tips and techniques. There is even a coloring graph page in the back. Highly recommend!
