Like most of you, when I look at a book, I look for value. Even if I love one quilt from it, I tend not to purchase it unless I can enjoy several projects. No worries with this one! It’s packed with projects that I love. In fact, I want to make nearly every one of the 15 quilts/runners. Just like the earlier book, this one features a wide variety of big name designers like Linda Lum DeBono, Jane Davila, Jo Morton and more.

I’m usually drawn to contemporary looks and there are plenty here, including the cover project (first on my list) but my favorite is a beautifully traditional table runner by Joanna of Fig Tree Quilts, with simple houses and Oak Leaf applique. Might be time to redecorate my house in more traditional looks to make a place for this one!

Review from Stick Your Nose in a Book: Quilting Book Reviews by Jennifer Zoeterman

This book is the second in the series, showcasing 15 skinny quilts/table runners, each by a different designer. There is lots of variety here: simple piecing, applique, embellishments, and free-hand cutting. All are beautiful projects for many levels of expertise, from traditional to contemporary. Because the quilts are all "skinny" you can try your hand at many new-to-you techniques.

From Popular Patchwork magazine

I really liked the first volume in this series and am convinced that the designs in this second installment are even more exciting. I prefer the idea of skinny quilts as wall hangings rather than for use on tables, but the beauty of these designs is that you can use them in a variety of settings, from beds to walls to tables. There is an incredible range of styles here, from fantastic art quilts to traditional pieced designs. The pattern collection features work by many respected designers, including Karla Alexander, Jo Morton and Lonni Rossi. In particular, I think Melinda Bula's gorgeous Wisteria Lane project alone is worth the price of the book. This is a great title for more experienced quilters, especially for those who would like to try some art quilt techniques but prefer a structured approach. Often art quilt instructions leave many design decisions up to the reader, but here you are given everything you need to complete each item as it is shown in the photographs, with precise instructions and the templates.
