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!

First comment yeah, I am so trying to win this book

Happy Valentines Day...No winning here..I have a couple of these books that I gave away already...
I have a few jelly rolls to use up, but I might need to purchase the shape cutter for a fun new tool to try. The Picnic quilt is a happy looking quilt, thanks Millie!
This book just has me by the cover quilt itself. But the 'Over-Under' is intriguing. What fun! It was nice to visit you today.
I love all the quilts I'm seeing on this blog tour. All of them look fun to make!
The quilts you made are lovely. From what I have seen from the book, there are some great patterns, would love to have one :o)

hi Millie, I guess I am the first. It is late at night here -"across the pond" in Australia. I would love to win a copy of this book, it is so inspiring and let's face it I need all the inspiration I can get-LOL.
I know you have had really cold weather over there- opposite to our heatwaves/floods/cyclones. A dear friend moved back to San Antonio just about a year ago after living here for many years. he would be feeling the change for sure. Bye, Sandy

I would love to win this book. All the quilts are fabulous.
I really like your scrappy interpretation - great colors. Thank you for the chance to win this book (and discover your blog!).
What great ideas for 2.5" strips, much more imaginative than my log cabins.
I'm loving all the quilts featured from this book. The book is a must-have.
I love scraps. What a great book.
You make the quilt look so easy! Hope I win so I can try it, too!!
Wow this looks like such a hard block, but it looks beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway :-)
Looks like a winning quilt book. I love 2.5 inch strips too.
Thank you for another chance to win this great book. Scrappy is my thing, so I know I will put it to great use.
I really like the looks of the quilts in the book. Please add me to the drawing.
The patterns just get better and better!
Love the scrappy project you are making from the book! What a fun blog hop this is!
I even love what just the 2 colors look like!
I've been following the blog tour of this book from day one and get more excited of it's possibilities with each passing day! I'm a scrap-a-holic and it's right up my alley!! ~karen
I love the vibrant colors chosen for the "picnic" quilt. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the purple and white together

SO very fun.
Good Morning! I am so excited about this book, the patterns look to work up quickly. Love the over and under pattern!
What a great give away! I think I could use this book to help me tackle my stash! Thanks, Millie!
Jayne
The more I see and hear about this book, the more I want to get a copy! Soon lol. I would love to win your giveaway!
What great quilts! Love the new ideas.
millie, great post. i too have a large bin of 2 1/2" strips....just saying :>)
Looks like a wonderful book! Thanks for the chance of winning!
I love scrappy quilts and it looks like I need to get my hands on Kims new book. All the patterns that I have seen so far are awesome. Love the Picnic blocks that you have made. The purple and white are really striking.... and I am not a purple fan usually.
What a great book! I hope to win one of these to help me make use of the jelly rolls I have on hand!
It looks like a wonderful book! I am just drawn to the scrappy type books as I never can really get myself to buy a whole quilt's fabric all at once. the expense seems overwhelming.. but when I buy it a little at a time, LOL somehow it seems okay. (silly it is the same amount of money, it just hurts less) and so scrappy for me seems the way to go.
I just love the Flowers for Nana quilt. It would have to be the first one I would make.
I love to make scrap quilts and would love to win this book.
Can't wait to get my own copy of this book - I'm seeing pictures of several quilts I would make out of it rather than it being another book that has just one design that I like. I also like that this author includes directions for pressing so pieces go together well in the next step!
Thank you for the opportunity to take part in this book blog tour. The quilts displayed are wonderful.
Thank you for showing us what you have done. It's great to see what we can do. I really need this book!
Happy Valentine's Day!!! Your quilt looks like it's going to be so beautiful! I can't wait to see it finished!!!!
The book looks great and my scraps are screaming for it...thanks for the chance to win it!
THat cover quilt might be the first I'd try too....I just love what I am seeing on these posts...such lovely quilt patterns! The book is definately on my wish list if I don't win one.

I would love to win!
Count me in! I would love a copy of the book.
Hi Millie!
I'm certainly enjoying this interesting book tour and LOVE your purple blocks for Picnic!
My quilting bookcase holds more than 100 books, but I think I need Kim's two books! The quilts are wonderful and I, too, have a healthy stash just waiting.
Thanks for hosting the tour today and Happy Valentine's Day to you!
Cheers!
I love your Picnic quilt. I have lots of 2 1/2" strips and can hardly wait to make one of these quilts.

Thank you for the giveaway for this book!

Happy Valentine's Day. Kim is so creative and your version is looking good. thanks for a chance to win.
Thanks for the giveaway!
This book is definately a winner! And hope I will be too!
thanks for sharing your blocks-the colors are great.
I really like the Flowers for Nana girl quilt. The color choice is great. I have been following your postage stamp quilt progress and it turned out so beautiful. I don't know if I would have the patience for that but it is a really nice way to use up scraps. Maybe someday.
I am loving all these scrap quilts!
Sue
Millie, Thank you for the book review. Your quilt example and comments are helpful. Thanks for the chance to win this good book.

I would love to have this book. Thanks for entering me in your giveaway.
Thanks for a chance, Millie. Can't wait to see you quilt - this looks like a fantastic book.
I think you're right- a two color quilt would look awesome! Thanks for sharing.
I too love scraps and I'm a big Jelly Roll fan. I also have the first book. I hope I can win the second.
I would love to have the book and I think the purple by itself would make a pretty picnic.
This is such an amazing book to use with jelly rolls, I can't wait to get a copy of my own. Thanks for the chance to win one.fgrivic@cogeco.ca
This is my favorite quilt in the book.
Please put my name in the drawing.

Everyone is making such pretty quilts from this book!
I wanted to attend Kim's recent class here in Pensacola, which included a copy of the book, but emergency home repairs and then the flu made it impossible to go.
Maybe I'll get a chance to own one here? Fingers crossed.
I'd love to be able to win this book so that I could figure out what to do with my scraps...
