If you're a scrapaholic and looking for a challenge, this book might interest you, especially if you are an experienced patchworker, as only a few of the patterns are at beginner level. Not only are the projects cheerful and lovely, but the author spends time explaining how to save and tame all those wonderful leftovers. She introduces tools that will help you cut to the correct sizes and explains how to step beyond the random and use background fabrics to balance a design full of many different pieces. The useful information given can also be applied to non-scrappy quilts as well, such as value and colour, how to select colour combinations and where to find inspiration.-- "Down Under Quilts"
