Thrifty Quilt book
Does anyone have Anne Wiens book Thrifty Quilter (nearly free quilts)? I have read fabulous reviews about the info within but that it is a waste of money for the quality of the book itself. I would love to have the book but trust your judgement better than the Amazon book reviews.
Thanks

It looks like an organization system for cutting leftover fabrics into useable sizes for scrap quilts. There are other methods out there, and probably quite a bit of info online. Let me see if I can link a few sites:

I would be put-off from buying the book because the reviews says it is color-copied rather than printed. That's being a little TOO thrifty for me!
