Thank you so much for all the kind comments.
One of these 10 Scrap-Basket Sensations book is going to Elaine at Muddling Through.
Congrats Elaine! I will email you and send your address to Kim.
Hope you will have time to stop by at Karen's today for another chance to win a signed copy of Kim's new book. Thanks again Kim for giving away 10 signed copies of your new book!
If you like making scrappy quilts and working with 2.5" strips you will love Kim at Magnolia Bay Quilts new book Scrap-Basket Sensations. Her book is available at Martingale & Company and Amazon or you can look at your local quilt shop.
Here are a 3 of the 18 scrappy quilts you can make from her book using 2.5" strips.
"Flowers for Nana Girl"
"Flowers for Nana Girl"
I pulled out a few scraps from my stash. To cut multiple strips at once, I like using the Shape Cut ruler for an easier and faster cut.
Here's the first few blocks I've made, but of course they won't all be purple in the end. Even though, I think it could make a pretty two colored quilt. Kim's instructions are very clear and easy to follow. She has step by step pressing instructions which really makes the sewing simpler. Since she's done nearly all the technical thinking already, it leaves more time for me to play around with colors.
Thank you so much Kim for another great book so we can turn those 2.5" strips into beautiful quilts. If you like to cut your stash up in 2.5' strips you will love her book.
If you want to win a signed copy of Kim's Scrap-Basket Sensations book, please leave a comment on this post. The give away will close on Thursday, the 17th when I will pick the winner.
Good luck to all of you!
Please visit Sinta at Pink Pincushion tomorrow for the 6th day of the Scrap-Basket Sensations Blog tour for another chance to win a copy of her book.
Happy Valentine's Day!

I love seeing what everyone is making with the book. Thanks for the pictures and the chance to win.
I am so in love with the quilts in this book! I've got to try one more time to win! These posts are sucking me in!
I think I lost my last comment. Anyway - I am so loving the quilts in this book! And all these posts showing all these wonderful quilts.... it is sucking me in! I"ve got to try one more time to win one!
That's a good idea to cut scraps into 2 1/2" strips. I have so many scraps left over, for a while I was cutting into squares 2" and up...but think I like the strip idea better. Thanks for a chance to win the book!
This book looks like it has such fun quilts to make. I'm encouraging myself this year to just use stash, so this book would be perfect.
This book looks like it has such fun quilts to make and use up some of the stash I have on hand.
Millie, I am totally convinced that I MUST make every quilt in this book. I really love them all, but the dilemma is ... where to start? LOL. Thanks for a chance to win a signed copy, how fun is that??? Hugs...
Thank you for a review of this book & a chance to actually see it in person.
Happy Valentines Day!
Hi there
I am loving the picnic pattern, looks so complicated but I guess it is a sinch. Would love to put this one on my to do list. Actually list is a bit of a stretch it is more like my to do novel.
Dianne
Thanks for the chance to win. Your picnic quilt is very cheerful!
I agree - the shape cut ruler is the best! The quilts in this book are beautiful. I think the cover quilt would be striking in two colors!
The more posts I see about that book, the more I'm convinced that I need to order a copy right now!
I promise to give this book a very good home, if it should come to live in my sewing room!
I think 'over and under' is my favorite pattern from the book so far. Would love to win, thanks for the chance.
Thank you for the review of this book. It's nice to be able to hear from a professional that it is detailed and easy to follow. I am just getting back into quilting after being away for several years raising young children and was looking for a starting point.
Thank you so much for the review of this book. I have been looking to get back into quilting after being away for a few years and this looks like it will be a great jumping off point.
Hi Millie- Thank you for being hostess for the book tour. Can't wait to see your finish and of course I am always interested in how you will quilt it. I think I would love to make the Nana's friend pattern, would love to win a copy of the book, it looks like oodles of fun and with the accuquilt cutter, those jellyrolls are easy to cut.
Wow, incredible the number of comments! This book is generating so much buzz. I love it, too. Nice to see your rendition of the cover quilt!
I want this book! LOL
I love to see the cutting shortcut tools! Snappy rotary cutting sure would make my day too.
Thanks for the chance to win Kim's great book.
I so love scrappy quilts... they are such a joy to make...
Kims book is just wonderful and filled with lots of wonderful projects... Would be wonderful to be the happy one..:0)
Oh, I am such a sucker for all things scrappy! I'd love a chance to win the book! Thanks for the opportunity.
Oooh. I am such a sucker for all things scrappy. This book looks like a real winner! Thanks for the opportunity to win it.
wow that picnic quilt is gorgeous
Great book. So glad it's being offered as a giveaway. I've got some great ideas for these patterns with my tons of stash!!!
Your multi coloured blocks look great. It's so effective.
I use a lot of 2.5" strips so it's nice with a whole book with patterns!
Thanks for the offering us the chance to win the book. I too really like the the look of this book and would start with "Over and Under" if I win.
Cheers
RobynK
Fun brights! This will be a very cheerful quilt when you're through.
I love seeing all the different color combinations quilters are coming up with for the quilts in Kim's book. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!
I have the Shape Cut ruler also and have to say it one of the best! It makes such fast work of cutting strips out of yardage. I love mine. You showed three of my favorite quilts out of this new book and I can't wait to own one and get started making them. Your Picnic is looking great so far and I think this is my most favorite of all the quilts.
I would love the chance to win.
Thanks.
I am getting very excited about this book, thanks for your review and I like your blog!
That cover quilt is absolutely gorgeous and I think you made the right choice with your beautiful purple/mauve fabric. Hope we get to see more of this quilt soon. I love the book, especially since it uses up all those 2.5-inch strips I've been cutting.
What a great idea!! =) I just have stacks of scraps... =) To be cut in 2.5" strips... when I have the time!
Love to win the book. Have lots of 2-1/2 scraps I could use up.
This book is lovely and I hope that I win so I can play with all of the patterns.
Micki

Thanks Millie for reviewing the book. I am very happy to hear that the instructions are good. I love it when they don't assume I know something.
I do think that your purple and white would make a great two color quilt. But I like lots of riotous color when I make a quilt.
I love this book! It has the best patterns. I need this book.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and thanks for sharing your progress on your great quilt!
The book looks great.

Hi Millie,
I'm with you; I love that picnic pattern. Scrap quilts are my very favorite, and your idea of cutting the scraps into ready to go strips is a great one! I love that the patterns in this book look so much more complicated than they actually are!
