Scatter Garden

very informative book, quilts are beautiful and very well explained. I made the wreath quilt and am very happy with it.

The nuts and bolts of making the original "blended quilt"...

Quilters Yenter and McCloskey gave us the wonderful concept of the "blended quilt," and fine books and careful instructions on the subject. But for me, an absolute beginner, the question was how to put fabric with design at a very basic level. Mostek has given us a way to get to a colorful, contemporary interpretation of the concept of the "blended quilt" with some simple, yet amazing, methods. The projects are stunning and also shown with different colorways. After this, on to my own "blendings."

Stop being confused with those large floral prints!

I really appreciate Pamela Mostek for coming up with such an informative and easy to use book! I love those big floral prints, but have never figured out what to do with them until now. Ms. Mostek shows respect for us quilters by stating many times that WE are the designers. Her instructions are clear and very easy to follow. The quilts all have alternate views, showing what a change in fabric or color intensity can do for the patterns. While the patterns look difficult, they are quite do-able, following the directions one step at a time. the quilts work up quickly and are ideal for a hurry up gift. Purchasing this book was definitely "a good thing" on my part.
