Today it's all about Scrappy Books!
I have had the opportunity these past couple of weeks to review a few books. Scrappy books that is!
First on the list is S is for SCRAPPY by Gayle Bong
Here's a shot from the book of all the projects in this book. There's a little bit of everything in this book... I especially liked the quilt called "Ahead of the Game" found on page 52.
Next is Small Blocks Stunning Quilts by Mary Elizabeth Kinch and Biz Storms... Although it doesn't have Scrap or Scrappy in the title, most of the quilts in this book would qualify as "scrappy" in my book!
There are some stunning :) scrappy quilts in this book.. Including the one below.
Although Small Blocks Stunning Quilts will be out of print soon, it is available as an e-Book and the authors have a new book coming out in May!
And one of my favorites... Crazy for Scraps by Sally Schneider
I am ALWAYS drawn to Star's. There is just something about them. {those and pinwheels are probably my favorite blocks in quilts} ... And I am really liking the pattern below.
I have some fabric stashed away that might end up in this quilt...
I have some fabric stashed away that might end up in this quilt...
And look at all the scrappy goodness in the quilt below... Scraptacular Scrappy!
All three books are from Martingdale and Company and are available on Amazon.
Happy Scrappy Sewing! ooxx`jodi
