This book shows 15 modern skinny quilts and has given me lots of ideas for what I will be doing for myself and others this year (e.g. Christmas). Love every quilt, I'll need to explore the techniques used a bit more, but so far I'm in love!

SKINNY QUILTS
BY: KIM SCHAEFER
All the quilts in this book are very modern in design and all of them would make wonderful bed quilts. There are 15 projects of skinny bed warmers or table runners. I have a lot of wall space that is skinny and long which I think Kim's designs in this book would be wonderful as contemporary art. All of the designs are from very simple block design but really have a dramatic look. Color and texture is the trick to these designs because of the simple blocks; you really could play with color. I have read several of Kim's books and they are always show lots of impact from simple design. This one is packed full of ideas for any level quilter. In fact, I have a group of quilters at church and I think I would like to try one of Kim's design in a large quilt with them, I know beginners will not have trouble piecing the blocks from these book. The piecing instructions are very simply done with good illustration, not much room for err!!

These days I find myself too busy to undertake really big projects, so I've been on the lookout for smaller, more manageable projects to keep my creative juices going. Skinny Quilts definitely gives me some nice projects to do! There is a nice variety of projects in a variety of methods, including pieced and appliqué, from modern to traditional layouts. I especially like the patterns for Leaves and Happy Jacks - super cute, fresh and fun!
Kim Schaefer's directions are clear and her tips are helpful. The illustrations are very clear and show how easy her patterns come together. The patterns are fun enough for intermediate or advanced quilters (like me) and clear enough for a beginning quilter, too.

Skinny Quilts Review

By goldendog

Format:Paperback
Skinny Quilts by Kim Schaefer contains twelve little quilt projects that can be used as table runners, wall quilts or bed runners. Schaefer's Skinny Quilts are bright and easy to make, even for a beginner. Skinny Quilts are very contemporary, and will look nice in any color scheme.
Schaefer first includes directions for making quilts in Skinny Quilts. She covers cutting, piecing, fusible appliqué and more.
My favorite quilt is titled "Leaves" and the parts of the leaves are large, and they are appliquéd to a background and border. The blocks in this quilt measure 16". I would enjoy making the quilt just because of its simplicity and ease of producing it.
Skinny Quilts is a good book for anyone wanting a fast project or anyone just learning to quilt. The quilts are fun and would good in any contemporary setting.
