My mother is an avid quilter and I’m trying to get back into the hobby, we both enjoyed this book and now we are picking out the fabrics for our next quilt for this chilly winter

This book is typical of stashing books. I disagree with the author on certain things, but overall the book as an educational sources is fine. A personal bug of mine is every time publishers show a sewing machine, they have a Bernina (one of the most expensive machines on the market). To me, this type of book about how to use up your scraps maybe not always the beginners but not for the people who already know how to do it, so why are you showing a machine that is one usually owned by people that have been sewing for a while. It’s a small complaint but something I truly believe in.

As someone who is just learning about quilting, I found this book quite helpful. The parts about finishing your quilt were very well explained with helpful diagrams.

This is a great reference book for anyone with a large stash they want to decrease or someone who wants to learn the basics of quilt making. Full of full colour images to bring inspiration that book uses step by step instructions to teach you how to make each quilt with additional tips and techniques included in between. A wonderful resource!

Improv isn't a word you hear very often when it comes to quilting. Usually the patterns featured are sharp, and precise, full of points and corners that must meet just so. This book is a breath of fresh air, as the author encourages you to play with your fabric stash (yes, we ALL have them), and essentially - GO WILD! Young offers helpful hints and encouragement along the way. Her featured designs are gorgeous, and her creativity has inspired me to pick up needle and thread again.
This one is a must-have for any quilter looking for something different.

Pros: Sewers always have a stash of fabric, and I love the idea of using out of what I already have. The idea of an improv quilt was new to me, and after reading this book I am inspired to try! (I appreciate that this book provides patterns even for improv!) I love that these quilts have no fabric waste and that they do not require lots of cutting. My favorite part of this book was the photos and seeing the author/artist's use of color in the quilts. I absolutely loved the lily pad pond quilt!

Cons: None that I can think of!

Thank you to NetGalley and Fox Chapel Publishing | Landauer Publishing for the opportunity to read this book.

Thanks for the advance copy of Stash Statement from NetGalley. This is exactly the type of quilting book I like to get. It gives you solutions for a problem every quilter has: what to do with the scraps. So many scrap books tell you to cut all your scraps to certain sizes, but that takes time I just don't have. This is the perfect solution for that problem. I'll be purchasing a hard copy of this when it's available.

Love this book! While reading it I kept thinking about how this book blends both my own and my mother’s quilting styles and I can’t wait to share it with her. I’ve been really enjoying the resurgence of improv quilting as it appeals to my *cough* laid back quilting style. This is a great bunch of patterns for dipping a toe into that style as it can be really hard to just let go of all the conventions you’re used to.

Quilters are always looking for new ideas and quilters always have a stash of scraps, so this would appeal greatly, especially for novice quilters who are still feeling their way with color and design.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. I hope that every library buys a copy!

I absolutely loved this book which is full of creative ways to use your fabrics to make statement pieces that will last a lifetime. It is beautifully presented and packed full of inspiration, creativity and design!

I am new at trying to create the beautiful quilts like my mom is known for. With this book as a guide I have a great place to start for wonderful ideas. The book is full of great tips and techniques. Using old scrapes from my moms projects I can create beautiful crafts that will make her proud. I loved the details the author gives that even a novice like me can follow. Most of all she makes it enjoyable. My favorite idea and my goal is to create the Angel Wings. I can’t wait to finish. You will love this book. It is also a perfect gift for the crafter in your life. Thanks to NetGalley for this amazing ARC that I can’t wait to add to our library.

These projects are beautiful and the instructions are well written. The color schemes shown give you such a good idea of the options you could make! These large scale patterns can overwhelm you, especially when you work in fits and starts. The diagrams are very detailed and there are so many tips to help you stay organized.

This is just what I need! I have just been given an enormous box of quilting pieces and scraps, but all of the books and patterns I have work best with larger pieces. I also don't know how to make a random quilt - I need to follow patterns.

The book shows a straightforward method to piece together scraps of any size into bigger blocks. Then there are 15 quilt patterns that can use mixed fabrics. I'm definitely going to sew a couple of them.

interesting book, and one that would be handy for people wanting to use up scraps. I tend to use mine in applique, but this book has some fun patterns too. Would be easy enough for a beginner. Would recommend.

YES. This book appeals to my scrap happy quilting heart. I found myself bookmarking pages and feeling that familiar urge to dive into my stash and pull together colors. Thank you to Netgalley and Landauer Publishing for letting me read this ARC.

I am a quilter on a budget who has inherited a lot of scraps from other quilters because I really love making scrappy little quilts. The idea of being able to make full sized ones from my scrappy little dreams was a delightful concept. I loved the way it showed a lot of ways to assemble scraps and methods for using them to build cohesive larger projects.

Now I just need to get my studio cleaned back up so I can actually get in there and use it!

I look forward to my library buying this book so I can make more of the projects.

Thank you to the author publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review

As a novice patchwork maker, I knew the struggles to always get new fabrics and stockpile our stash at home. Picking this book I hope I can turn those stash become some artwork.

This book offer standar craftbook formats with materials, tools, instructions and step by step visuals. Some of recommend tools and example fabrics at here little bit excessive. I know patchwork and quilting would never become cheap hobbies, but we are crafter isn't? Take the guide/ lesson and be creative with whatever we have at home.

Many patterns being offered, all well know design with impoverished basic shapes.The instruction, tips and illustrations are clear. Some introducing us about negative space.
But this isn't scraps quilt so I wish better combination between fabric's colors and motives so the end result appearances become more mesmerized. I expected more results from the supplies brand provided at books.

Thank you to Netgalley and Fox Chapel Publisher from Landauer Publishing Group for providing copy of this ebook. I have voluntarily read and reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Expecting Publication : 19 June 2024

This is the second book I've read recently about using your fabric stash for quilting, and it's just as good as the other.
As a novice sewer, I find real value in clear instructions and pictures. I am a visual learner, so the step-by-step visuals are perfect for me. As an Aussie, I really appreciate that the creator has put measurements in CM in brackets. Although when quilting, I do use inches, I found this addition useful.

While there is much to love about the book and how it is set out, I do not like the pastel headings. They aren't easy to read and can be easily overlooked.

Overall, a wonderful resource for quilting that I will be using a lot.

This book gave me a new meaning to improv quilts. After the basics of sorting and choosing your scraps, Kelly explains how to make a collection of improv shapes (generally squares or rectangles of whatever sizes work for you) which are later used, often by cutting down to exact shapes and sizes to be used in a quilt pattern. She offers many different patterns and gives good instructions on how to complete the quilts. There is lots of eye candy photos, clear illustrations and many helpful tips throughout. Thank you to NetGallery for the opportunity to read a preview digital edition of this book.

A great book, it’s a perfect gift for anyone that has a stash. It has so many ideas and was a great inspiration.
