Giveaway - Scrap Quilt Secrets
Yay! it's my turn on the Scrap Book Secrets blog hop.
Scrap Quilt Secrets is the new book by Diane Knott of Butterfly Threads blog. Her blog is full of beautiful quilts and handy tips presented in a friendly cheery way. This book has very much the same happy and helpful vibe.
When I received my copy of the book to review I jotted down notes as I read. As I re-read them to write this post I thought why not just share them with you as they are. So here goes - this is what I like about Scrap Quilt Secrets:
Clever S.C.R.A.P.S formula - different chapters based on Style, Contrast, Repetition, Accent colours, Palette and Selvedges
16 great quilts- all very different from each other using a wide range of techniques, different colour palettes and a variety of styles from modern, folk, traditional. medallion, repetitive block quilts.
Great for both beginners or advanced. Each quilt has a skill level indicater but I think the patterns are so clearly explained step by step they would be easy for anyone.
Lots of tips about using colour and choosing fabrics, and how to make scraps work.
Lots of secrets for each technique, in fact there are clever tips all throughout the book
An excellent all round quilt making reference book. Very complete basics section including everything from design surfaces, different types of applique, to a section about adding fun labels to quilts
Very clear instructions, well laid out and easy to follow, Love the clear colour diagrams
Big full size template diagrams.
Colouring pages of each to copy and colour in. Brilliant!
Now let's see some of the quilts...
Razzamatazz - a great way to use a multitude of even the smallest scraps
Tipsy Tac Toe - I know this looks like a black and white photo of a colourful but Diane has used black and white contrasting fabrics to create this wonderful effect.
Vintage Village - Who doesn't love a house quilt!
If I'd had more time to make one of the quilts from this book it would have been the cover quilt - Crazy Daisy. I would have used shades of blue and called it the Blue Mountain Crazy Daisy quilt.

Ooooh that Razzamatazz has my name all over it. Looks like a great book.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds wonderful! I'd love to learn some tips on choosing color, picking fabrics and making scraps work. I'm loving the Detour and Vintage Village quilts.

Hi I love the vintage village, and the crazy daisy. Looks like a great book.
ReplyDeleteDawn
I like them all but I had never thought of making a scrappy village quilt so I will choose that one. Looks like a great book!
ReplyDeleteI like them all but I had never thought of making a scrappy village quilt so I will choose that one. Looks like a great book!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know "Vintage Village" and I think it's a very Spring quilt !
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics and the colors...
Thank you for this giveaway, and as an international quilter, I am playing for the e-copy !! :)
Hugs from France !
I really like Razzmatazz, but my favorite is the cover quilt. I love the combination of applique and piecing.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a quilt previewed that I don't like. They all look fabulous! Thanks for an opportunity to win a copy of Diane's book.
ReplyDeleteMy fav is Razamatazz, but I also really like the log cabin quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pretty preview Rachael. What an amazing assortment of scrappy quilts (my very favourite kind!). Razzamatazz shouts to me, but I wouldn't have the patience to make it. However Vintage Village looks just perfect for me :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in this giveaway, Rachael. I love scrap quilts!This looks like a fabulous book. I'm with you, I would probably make the cover quilt.
ReplyDeleteAfter careful consideration, I think my favourite quilt is "Vintage Village". The houses are so cute and colourful, can see some of my stash fitting in that quilt very nicely.

I enjoyed your notes! I love the cover of this book, though I think I'd be lazy and leave out the inner flower border if I were making the cover quilt (brilliant idea to make a Mountain Daisy version of it!). I also really like Vintage Village and Razzamatazz (though let's face it, there's no way I'd make Razzamatazz with all those little pieces. Plus curves. Not if I actually wanted a finished quilt one day!).
ReplyDeleteI like the Vintage Village.
ReplyDeletepatsystitch@gvtc.com
I like you prefer the cover quilt but only because it seems to be the most likely to be able to be made with scraps as daft as that may sound lol
ReplyDeleteDetour is pretty wonderful too : )
I like the cover...the combination of the triangles & appliqué
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great book. Your notes were interesting. I always struggle with gettng the right scrappy mix. Sounds like she covers this in the book.
ReplyDeleteI like to have tips on fabrics that could be used to create effects. I think all quilt books should have examples of the fabric used BEFORE they cut it up! Now that may not work with really scrappy quilts, but having guidance on what color, tone, hue, pattern, style would be wonderful.
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway!
WWOW ! Such a great & generous giveaway !
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for giving us a chance of winning this beautiful book... Scrap quilts are my favorite, no doubt I'd find happiness with those patterns :))
In stitches,
NADINE
This is my first visit to your blog, and it looks as though I will become a regular. This book looks to be a great resource. As a relatively 'young' quilter of only a couple of years, the information would be precious to me. I look at "Oh My Stars" and see a design that should lend itself to color experimentation. Thanks for the giveaway! bella.harriger@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love the house quilt! I have always wanted to make one.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of "Detour"!!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of "Detour"!!

ReplyDeleteRosemary
Thanks for this review. I really liked the Razzmatazz quilt, the overall effect is quite stunning
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite is "vintage village". I love house quilts
ReplyDeletei must admit I love the one on the front cover. I am always attracted to half-square triangles. T
ReplyDeletehanks for the chance to win this book
I like those houses. Haven't done one before, and this looks like one I'd like!
ReplyDeleteThe cover quilt is my favorite. Thanks for an opportunity to win this great book.
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage village quilt because all houses are not the same size. Thanks for offering a give-away. nrkozak@comcast.net.
ReplyDeleteNancy
Beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteAlways fun on your blog..xxoo
ReplyDeleteThe first scrappy thing i did was houses..It was a table topper a round one and on each door was the kids names.....For my hubbys grandma.....So my first love was houses..... happyness04431@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteAs a relative newcomer to quilting, the use of color and fabric in scrappy quilts without getting confusing or messy would be valuable information to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win! I love the cover quilt, but the Oh My Stars also appeals.
ReplyDeleteI like Detour. But the one on the cover? I have heart eyes for that one.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right --- what wonderful quilts! I think, because it is probably my favorite type of quilt, I would start with the log cabin quilt. I love the variety of fabrics. However, I am quite sure I would make some of the others as well.
ReplyDeletequiltschon@att.net
You know I love scrappy and I the first quilt I would go for is Detour--I have lots of strips to use up! I can totally see you put your own spin on that cover quilt!
ReplyDeleteI've never made a house quilt and the Village quilt caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win such an appealing book.
joyecox@yahoo.com
Razzamatazz is my favorite. I can picture it in different colors.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine your version of the cover quilt! It would be lovely. I'm sure it was hard to choose a favorite as all of these look like great fun.
ReplyDeleteI love scrap quilts in general so I just can't pick one!
ReplyDeleteOh my Stars and Vintage Village caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteTrina

ReplyDeleteOh My Stars because I love star blocks in all versions and the colors are great:-)
ReplyDeleteI love Razzmatazz! I look forward to reading the tips on scrap quilts as I need a lot of help. Thanks for a chance to win a copy of her book. sandi1100 at yahoo dot com

ReplyDeleteThis book looks AWESOME! I'd totally love to win this :-)
Julie.mirdoch@shaw.ca
Love Razzamatazz, but not sure I would ever accomplish it!
ReplyDeleteRazzamatazz is my favorite, but also love Vintage Village, and the quilt on the cover of the book.
ReplyDeleteI really love the cover quilt, with the piecing and applique. So fun! Thanks for the giveaway; I love what I've seen of this book. dorkyquilts@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI want to make the Detour quilt. I love log cabin and this is a really neat scrappy version of a log cabin. Thanks for the opportunity to win this book, it looks really great.
ReplyDeleteJenniferk2p2 at gmail dot com
I think Detour is my favorite of the quilts you've shown. Looks like a great scrappy book.
ReplyDeleteTipsy Tac Toe! 24Tangent@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI like most of the quilts I've seen from this book, but my favorite is the cover quilt Crazy Daisy. Thank you for the chance to win a copy of the book.
ReplyDeleteI have recently fully embraced the scrap quilt and I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite from the pics you showed is probably the log cabin in a streak of lightning setting. Thanks for the giveaway.
The lack and white quilt is my favorite. I like to find lots of different fabrics to use for them and they all look great together.
ReplyDeletehas to be about using color...so many people who want to make scrap quilts get bogged down over where to put what color...and i like the way she has the chapters titled too! terrific book!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some beautiful projects! Love the "Tipsy Tac Toe" quilt>love the pattern and the color choices used! HAPPY SPRING!
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1214@gmail.com
I have to pick Detour - it truly can use up those scraps!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win a copy of this book - it looks fantastic! I love the cover quilt - it's so very cheerful :0) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteScrap quilts of every kind are my very favorites - would LOVE to win a copy of this wonderful new book!
ReplyDeleteI like the Detour Quilt from the ones you have shown, though it was hard to pick
ReplyDeleteRepetition in making scrap quilts is what I learned from Diane.
ReplyDeleteMy son in Ohio is having a new house built, so I think Vintage House pattern would make a great quilt as they move in later this year. All the quilts you showed are inspiring. (celiaambrose@hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteOops, meant to type Vintage Village in my earlier comment. Not sure why this is showing March 31st, as it's 1:15PM on March 30.
ReplyDeleteSince I have been buying black and white prints, I think I will choose the black and white quilt!! If I free up some room in the basket, I can buy more!!
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's a close tie between Razzamattaz and Tipsy TicTacToe! I'd probably have to start them both at the same time!
ReplyDeleteLoooove "Detour"...& close 2nd is definitely "Vintage Village"!! What an Awesome Book!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for chance to win your give-a-way too! :D
The quilts in the book look very interesting and I look forward to all the tips and tricks. Greetings
ReplyDeleteaubphg (at) hotmail (dot) com
Love scrap quilts. I think that Vintage Village is my favorite, but sure I would make several of them. Thanks. Diane O
ReplyDeleteI love the first quilt picture you featured. Looks like some strings are involved, and I've been on a roll with them in my last 7-8 quilts. Thanks for the chance to win her book.
ReplyDeleteThat looks ike a fabulous book - I think Detour is my favourite quilt from what I can see there. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI'm always on the lookout for ways to use up those precious scraps, the cover quilt looks perfect for me!
ReplyDeletethis looks like such a fun book.
ReplyDeletequilting dash lady at comcast dot net
I'm terrible at picking favorites -- I love lots of scrap quilts! I agree that the coloring page for each quilt is a brilliant idea. This is the first I've heard of that in a book and I think it's a winner!
ReplyDeleteI like Oh My Stars quilt! But of course I would it's girly,and I have all girls. Lol!
ReplyDeleteDmac5958ataoldotcom
I love Detour! Scrappy log cabin quilts are so much fun to make!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover quilt, and would love to see your blue take on it!! :-) But of the other quilts, I love the log cabin block quilt: so dynamic and fun!! Have a great day my friend!! Hugs, H in Healdsburg

Razzamatazz calls out to me but I love the cover quilt too.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilt was the Vintage Village, though I love all of the ones you've shown. Thank you! lynnstck(at)yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteDid you say coloring in pages. I used to do that on graph paper. Always useful

I like all the quilts that I have seen so far, but I have always loved Dresden Plates and Grandma's Fans so I will say Razzamatazz! Thanks. chocolatewiskers@aol.com
ReplyDeleteGreat review RAchael! Mmmmm decisions....I think I'll choose Oh My Stars! Thanks for a lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHard to choose between Razzamatazz and Tic Tac Toe. I can see them both in scrappy versions & I think they'd look great. Love them both.
ReplyDeleteBlue Mountain daisies!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about this book - really looking forward to digging into many of the patterns! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI love your comments about the book, makes me want to to find where I can get a copy, WAIT I can win one here.
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage houses, I've never made a house quilt and think it would be a wonderful way to use up all my precious scraps. I also love the quilt on the front cover of the book, I just might have to find where to buy a copy if I don't win one.
Crazy Daisy for sure, it would help use up a nice variety of scraps and I love the applique on it. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say "The Detour." Love log cabins!
ReplyDeleteI want to make the cover quilt! The colors and flowers are perfect.

ReplyDeleteThat house quilt is calling my name!
ReplyDeleteLove the houses..... Thanks for a chance to win. Janita
ReplyDeleteI love the cute houses!! thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI love Detour. I've seen pictures of this quilt quite a few times & have been thinking about trying to make it. I actually love all of the quilts you showed.
ReplyDeleteI think Detour is very striking and a great use of scraps either multicolored or a more controlled palette. Vintage Village also looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage village and the crazy daisy cover quilt. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteLove the grays in Tipsy
ReplyDeleteI think Oh my Stars would be the perfect one to make with my group of newbie quilters in our quilt ministry group. A super learning experience for all of us about how fabric choices can totally change the look of the block.
ReplyDeleteCrazy Daisy is soon sweet
ReplyDeleteI need help using my scraps and this book will be a great help!
ReplyDeleteI love the Crazy Daisy quilt! It would be the one that i would sew first from Diane's book.
ReplyDeleteRazzmatazz does it for me! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI like Razzamatazz, but Detour is interesting also. Hard choices.
ReplyDeleteOh My Stars catches my attention. So much movement.
ReplyDeleteI love Detour because I love log cabin quilts.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I would make the quilt on the front cover first. I do like the other quilts but this one draws me in right away. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover quilt!
ReplyDeleteI like vintage village he best! Thanks for sharing the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteI really love the cover quilt but Vintage Village looks like fun. Jmikebalou(at) aol dot com
ReplyDeleteEach day as I read each bloggers comments about the book, my desire for it grows. If I don't win, it will go on my book wish list.
ReplyDeletekatylillie@gmail.com
Detour.
ReplyDeleteThe thought that I could make a scrappy quilt WITHOUT it looking confusing and messy, sounds an awesome idea to me.
I do have the scraps....
I love using up my scraps and I love making Scrap Quilts so a book full of new ideas would be just up my street. I would love to win this Giveaway
ReplyDeleteI can understand you loving this book, it being so bright and cheerful. It is hard to pick a favourite, so I will say both Topsy Tac Toe as I've heaps of black and white fabrics and Detour, as I've never made a log cabin quilt and it uses a huge variety of scraps. Thanks for the opportunity to try for,the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy very favourite would have to be the cover quilt- crazy daisy. It draws me in every time i see it. Thank you for hosting this blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI think Detour looks lovely. I love seeing all of these beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Crazy Daisy is my favorite. Thanks for showing all the quilts. Rina
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt on the cover! Actually, love them all. I love scrappies!
ReplyDeleteMy eye is drawn to the "Detour" quilt plus I like the way it uses lots of leftover strips.
ReplyDeleteI think the black and white quilt is very striking. Then I want to tackle the house quilt. Very cute. Thanks for the giveaway. Deb...spoofs@juno.com
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to decide on one favorite. I'm choosing Detour. Log cabin quilts are always great to make as a leader quilt, the scraps really show up and lastly the log cabin quilt reminds of warmth and comfort on a cold night.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about that "Detour" or the "Crazy Daisy". Thank you for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeleteHi Rachael. I love black and white so I will say Tipsy tac toe. But I also love the house quilts. They are so colorful.
ReplyDeleteHi, Thanks for the great review...I love scrap quilts, they are my favorite to look at, all unique! I love the scrappy house quilt, would love to make one.
ReplyDeleteDetour looks like something I'd like to make.
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in this blog hop.
Razzamatazz is my favorite quilt because it has red in it! Also, lately I've been thinking about making a NY Beauty like this so it was validation when I saw the picture of it the first time.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the crazy daisy quilt, bit I'd add some tulips into the mix to make it my own.
ReplyDeleteLove black and white quilts with a pop of colour also.
Love scrap quilts especially log cabin patterned ones!! mumbird3atgmaildotcom
ReplyDeleteOh My Stars! It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteFor years I've wanted to make a house quilt, "Vintage Village" is just what I've been looking for. What a great book!
ReplyDeleteHope Blogger lets me comment on this lovely book today. Lots of pretty ideas
ReplyDeleteHope Blogger lets me comment on this lovely book today. Lots of pretty ideas
ReplyDeleteI like them all but will select Vintage Village.
ReplyDeleteSounds (and looks) like a great book. I need inspiration to use up all my scraps!
ReplyDeleteI especially like Detour.
ReplyDeletehmmmm think i already said something on here but not sure..........Anyways i loved the houses....my first scrappy round table runner was houses for my hubbys grandma.... happyness04431@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThanks for your review, Rachael. There are many books on the market so it is good to read a review about the book. Thanks so much for this information.
ReplyDeleteI am also quite taken by the cover quilt. Love the combination of piecing and applique.
I love the little houses (must make), and the cover quilt is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed you could go thru that book and pick out those quilts. Good job.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI think the Detour Quilt is intriguing. The way so many different scraps work to create an integrated whole is amazing. Thank you for offering this give away.
Like all the quilts you've shown but I love Detour the best. Thanks for the opportunity to win such an awesome book!
ReplyDeletelbcookie1@gmail.com
They are all beautiful quilts but Razzmatazz is my favorite. Thanks for a chance to win a copy of the book. It looks like a wonderful book.
ReplyDeleteI think Detour is my favorite. I love log cabins and this spin on them is very special.
ReplyDeleteI've never done a black and white quilt but I find them mesmerizing. So for me I think Tipŝy Tac Toe would be a very useful one to read first but I wouldn't stop there. I like Oh My Stars because I love how the fabric can change the appearance of a block. Thanks for the chance to win. ;^) Chantal
ReplyDeletescrap(dot)and(dot)quits via gmail(dot)com
Awesome! I have scraps coming out of my ears so this would be a great book to have. Tips and tricks I could use too:). And full size templates are always nice!
ReplyDeleteIf you find the time I'd love to a crazy daisy quilt someday!!!
I love this book! I'd love to make all of the quilts you've shown, but I'd definitely begin with the Crazy Daisy cover quilt as well. It's just so cute in all of its bright and beautiful glory!!!
ReplyDeleteGunterheather(@)yahoo(.)com

ReplyDelete--Nancy. (ndmessier @ aol.com, joyforgrace.blogspot.com)
Razzmatazz is stunning. Good colors and great repetition. I would like the challenge of curved piecing. Sunflowerpetal42@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI was pretty intrigued with Detour. But honestly, they were all inspiring. Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful book.
ReplyDeleteThe cover quilt is my favorite from this book. It's definitely on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteI like the black and white quilt but wouldn't have enough scraps for that one. I would love to learn all the secrets. tljeo@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI've never finished a quilt with houses (yet), I'm sure that the vintage village would be the first one I'd want to make, or the cover quilt. Both are colorful and look like great fun to create. Thanks for participating in the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love both Detour and the cover quilt and would have a very difficult time deciding which to make first!
ReplyDeleteI love the Tipsy Tac Toe the best, although they are all stunners to me. Thanks as always Racheal!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that black and white quilt is amazing. It seriously could be a black and white photo.
ReplyDeleteSeriously amazing.
I hope you are having a great weekend.
Detour and the cover quilt do it for me. Thanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteMy goodness...lots of your fan think they need this book, just like me!
ReplyDeleteI have just joined the scrap world. What a wonderful world it is, too!
ReplyDeleteDetour is my favorite. I've always been drawn to log cabin quilts.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteRazzamatazz - a great way to use a multitude of even the smallest scraps, if I had to choose one. I'm interested in learning her technique for the Detour quilt too. Thank you for the opportunity to win this great book mgailey623@gmail.com
Definitely love a house quilt! Looks great in solids especially!
ReplyDeleteI am crazy about her Crazy Daisy quilt. And I know that the Oh My Stars quilt would make a wonderful gift for my college-bound niece.
ReplyDeleteI could use some help on controlling the chaos in my scrap quilts. It looks like this would be a good book for doing that. I liked Detour the best. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThey all look great and fun to make. But the description of Detour, "There's lots of tips on how to make this quilt really work without looking messy or confusing," is calling to me. Thanks so much for the chance!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful book. My favorites are Crazy Daisy and Detour.
ReplyDeleteI love Vintage Villages and would like to make it.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Crazy Daisy is my favorite. I love daisies and half square triangles!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your blog! One thing I will enjoy about Diane's book is that she includes line drawings of all her quilts, so you can experiment with different color schemes by coloring with crayons, pencils, markers....This will be awesome! Wish more designers would include these in their books. Jspwarren at aol dot com
ReplyDeleteI love the Oh My Stars - but I love most quilt patterns that are star or flower-based.
ReplyDeleteI love Oh My Stars. Thanks for the book review. kmcassie at gmaildotcom
