"You have strips left from past projects and a bunch of scraps that you just can't part with. What to do with all this wonderful fabric Edyta Sitar solves that problem in her book Friendship Strips & Scraps with 18 projects. Quilts to table toppers to table runners to wall hangings are shown in this book which is set up as a strip exchange but there is no reason you can't make the whole project yourself without doing an exchange (especially since you have all this wonderful "leftover" fabric!).

There are two sections before the projects start. One discusses strip sets and the other shows the steps for doing fusible appliqu . The projects themselves are well written with the materials list set off in a yellow frame. A colored photo of the finished item is provided and the cutting list is clearly written. The directions for creating the blocks have graphics included to make sure you are on the right path. --Barbara Rhoades "Barbara Rhoades"
