Review from Quilters Companion - Quilts from Precut Fabrics, No. 5
This is Kate's second book of quilts made from 2-1/2 in strips. Her first was Strip Savvy. Inside this new title you will find 16 all-new quilt designs in modern fabrics and fresh colour combinations. Some quilts are created with quite simple strip piecing while others are a little more fiddly, involving such techniques as partial seams. Regardless of the complexity, the instructions are supported with clear step-by-step diagrams and quilt-assembly diagrams. There won't be any reason to say you don't know what to do with Jelly Rolls once you have read this book.
Review from Generation Q Magazine, Fall/Winter 2016
If you're a stripper lover--wait...we mean strip lover--then this book's for you. Striking Strip Quilts covers the gamut with striking photographs, 16 gorgeous quilts, and clear instructions for quilts made using the 42" rolls of fabric we just cannot resist buying! The quilts have a range of difficulty, some simple and some more complex, one even giving us the chance to practice our partial seams! Or not! There are plenty of beauties to choose from.
