About the Book

Best-selling author Alex Anderson shares her scrap quilting secrets. All 6 one-block scrap quilts (plus the bonus sampler quilt) are easy enough for confident beginners and include complete instructions.

About the Author :
Alex Anderson's love of quilting all began in 1978 when she completed her Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt as a part of her work towards her degree in art from San Francisco State University. Over the years, her central focus has been to understand fabric relationships and to develop an intense appreciation of traditional quilts and beautiful quilting surface design. Alex is the author of 30 books with C&T Publishing, in four languages, selling near 1 million copies worldwide. Her quilts and instruction tips have also appeared in numerous magazines. She is the National Spokesperson for Bernina of America, a promotional partner for AccuQuilt's GO!, as well as a designer of her own line of fabrics with P&B Textiles, and threads with Superior Threads. For 11 years, she served as host of Simply Quilts on HGTV. Alex continues to be one of the most sought-after instructors and lecturers in the international quilting and sewing industry. Alex is a founding partner of The Quilt Show.com and The Quilt Life Magazine (published by AQS) with Ricky Tims. The Quilt Show is the world's first full-service interactive online video/web TV programming created just for quilters. With over 120,000+ registered members in over 100 countries, The Quilt Show.com's mission is to educate, inspire, entertain, connect and grow the world quilting community in a fun, positive and interactive environment. The Quilt Life Magazine is a bimonthly magazine dedicated to celebrating the lifestyle of today's quiltmaker in a fresh and beautiful format. Alex was chosen as the 2008 Silver Star Award winner, an annual recognition by the International Quilt Festival to a quilter "whose work and influence has made -- and continues to make -- a sizable and positive impact on the quilting industry and community." Alex was also chosen by the readers of Quilter's Newsletter magazine (Feb 2009) as "The Most Influential Person in The Quilting Industry" (in a three-way tie with Ricky Tims and Karey Bresenhan of Quilts, Inc). Alex's personal mission is not only to share her love of quilting with anyone who will listen, but to educate and encourage those interested in quilting as clearly and simply as possible, so quilting can continue to be handed down from generation to generation. Alex has two children and lives in Northern California with her husband. Visit Alex on the web at www.alexandersonquilts.com and www.thequiltshow.com

Review :
Aug 2014 Alex points out in her introduction to this book that the actual definition of a scrap quilt is debatable and very much a matter of opinion; I'm sure that rings true for all of us. In Alex's case she enjoys challenging herself to include as many fabric pieces into her quilts as she can - and she throws that gauntlet down to the reader too! The quilts in this collection are indeed sensational: visual feasts that draw the eye and almost overload the senses. Most quilters will have struggled with composition at one time or another... One flick through the projects in this book is enough to provide inspiration aplenty. There are some stunning quilts in here, from the spacey modern Double Flying Geese to the mind-boggling Bow Ties, a truly impressive feat of piecing which Alex nonetheless categorises as achievable by a confident beginner. This is a great collection of projects which sparkles with ideas and is sure to motivate and impress in equal measure.
