Scraptherapy(r) Cut the Scraps!: 7 Steps to Quilting Your Way Through Your Stash by Joan Ford

3.0

My grandmother would either love this or hate this. She was a big fan of saving EVERYTHING, to the point where you really couldn't sew it in with the seam allowance, but she kept it regardless. I do not have such high standards for saving everything, but I save a lot and my stash is approaching being messily out of hand. I love this philosophy--you cut all scraps down to 2", 3.5", and 5" and then discard the rest. How easy! I really liked the first section discussing the hows and whys, though I found that more engaging than the patterns. I think that the patterns look deceptively simple, or the fabric looks outdated, so they didn't really wow me upon first sight. However, I have already started implementing this philosophy and I look forward to trying these patterns with different fabrics!

For: quilters who want to use up their stash.

Red flags: some of the fabric choices look dated now, so some new readers may not find this as visually appealing.
