Putting a new spin on time-tested quilt methods, this book shows that today's tools and techniques--namely the rotary cutter and cutting mat, which greatly facilitate the strip-piecing approach--can ease the labor intensity of many traditional patterns, yet yield equally beautiful results. Trip Around the World, Sunshine and Shadow, Nine Patch, and more are dissected into logical, streamlined strip sets that still require precision but demand far less time and painstaking care than the old methods. --Amy Handy
Product Description
Blanche Young and Darlene Young Stone introduce the reader to the basics of working with fabric to create strip sets to easily construct magnificent quilts. The streamlined techniques were developed to use the tools available today. The new methods and the variety of quilts will tempt quiltmakers of all abilities.

Traditions with a Twist November 6, 2008
This is without a doubt my very favorite quilt book. I have owned this book for several years. It was one of the first books I purchased, and it is still my favorite. I have completed a number of quilts using patterns in this book. Several have blue ribbons! I highly recommend this book to any quilter.
 Lovely book March 6, 2008
I was pleasantly surprised to find out this is the book used on a Simply Quilts episode, which I had wanted to buy anyway. A good, fast strip method for making Trip Around the World, Blooming Nine Patch, and other patterns. Lovely photos, definitely worth a buy.
Certainly A Classic! September 8, 2007

I took a class with this wonderful, spunky lady a few years ago. She makes HUGE quilts, and this book has a great selection of variations. The sizes only include either very large, or baby. But the designs are so simple!

I love this book. I've made a couple of quilts using it and plan to make a few more. I've gotten nothing but rave reviews on the quilts I made using this book and I can't recommend it highly enough. I purged through my quilt book collection and got rid of most of them but this book stayed in my top ten list. The use of color alone is worth the price of the book.

Very clear directions and beautiful designs. Good ideas on blending colors. Great for beginners but interesting enough for the experienced quilter.
