“[A] lovely, lovely book. Actually, even though the projects are all fairly straightforward it’s one of the nicest quilting books I’ve looked at in a long while and the photos are fabulous . . . My favorites were the scalloped placemats, the lampshade, the work chair slipcover, tray liner, and some of the bags. All of these are straightforward enough for any beginner, but even for someone whose been sewing as long as I have they would make great additions to brighten up the home.” —Run Quilt Knit Write

“If you like simple projects with a modern approach, a few (or a lot) of projects in this book will appeal to you . . . All of these projects are ‘beginner-friendly,’ which is nice for beginners but also nice for those among us who are looking for a fast project (need a quick gift?).” —Portland Modern Quilt Guild
