Stash Buster Quilts: 14 Time-saving Designs to Use Up Fabric Scraps
My first thought when I saw this book were that it was a little dull, and didn’t immediately catch my imagination. However after looking at again and again I realised that it was the photography of the quilts that was letting it down (too dark), while the fabric choices are not my ideal, it is the designs that are the strongest area and I think will have a lot of appeal.
I have begun making one of the designs already and am finding them incredibly easy to understand. Very good instructions and lots and lots of illustrations and good basics make this book an excellent choice for getting out your scraps and having lots of quilting fun.

They flock together – patterns across the wall: a collection of objects cast from the empty spaces left behind in plastic packaging. Sourced from the tool box, the toy box and the domestic environment, the original moulds are the wallpaper of our daily lives – ever present but barely noticed.
