What to do with the scraps from other quilts! That is always a question in a quilter's mind. BITS AND PIECES helps solve that problem. While the book is about making small quilts in the size range of 20" square, there is no reason you couldn't make several of the small quilts, put them together and make a bed sized one! A bit of sashing between each "quilt" and you have a large quilt instead. For example, in One Patch Garden, there are lots of colorful square with a border. So just make more squares from your leftovers and you have the bed quilt
Each pattern, of which there are 17, begins with a bit of information about the quilt. Then the size of the finished project is listed and a materials list is given. Cutting instructions come next followed by how to assemble the top and finishing directions. There are plenty of graphics to help you visualize what the instructions are telling you to do. And lots of tips are found in special boxes through out.
Your quilts will most likely not match the ones in the photos as your scraps are sure to be different than the author's. The quilts are divided into four types, those using squares and rectangles, those using triangles, those using diamonds and those using curves and circles with easy appliqué. This makes the book one in which everyone will find a project to their liking.

I ordered this book in October so that I could make small quilted Christmas items for family and friends. All of the projects in here are great, the instructions are clear and they go together quickly.

Great quilting book - lots of projects I would actually do!

I love it when I can find 2 or even 3 projects from a book that make it on my 'to do' list - but out of the 18 I would say that at least 12 have made it! Great quilts - great color combinations - and quick to finish. A+
