Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.
I'm not quite sure what I was expecting from this book. I've seen many scrap quilting books but nothing quite like this. What sets this one apart is how it explains and how it helps you organize and store all of your scraps. Its so practical! I appreciate the examples of different blocks that are shown as well. There are so many great ideas, tips, and photos included. I very rarely purchase quilting books, but this one will be an exception!

SusanClaire Mayfield, the Gourmet Quilter, is going to show you how to cut down your scraps of fabric and organize them into a well stocked pantry, ready to combine into units and then into finished quilts. (It's very similar to Bonnie Hunter's Scrap User System.) Once the cutting is done and the units are pieced, the book gives you lots of "recipes," illustrations showing how to combine the units into quilts. These are just colored diagrams, with no photographs of finished quilts. There's also no guidance on combining colors. For an experienced quilter trying to work through a pile of scraps, this might provide some helpful inspiration.

Pros: All of us who sew have scraps and stashes of fabric. I appreciate that this book encourages us to use them and gives ideas of what to do with them. I love that this book uses QR codes to direct readers to additional information. I am someone who benefits from seeing something performed, so I love when this accompanies a book. I also found the size charts throughout to be incredibly helpful.
Cons: This is not a con of the book but a note to readers. I don't think this is the book for first-time quilters. It is better suited toward experienced sewers who will understand the patterns.
Thank you to NetGalley and Fox Chapel Publishing, Landauer Publishing for the opportunity to read this book.

Such a fun and useful book! Full of ideas for organizing your scraps and then loads of easy to follow patterns to use them up.
I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.

Loved the organizational tips in this book. Brilliant idea to have a scrap pantry which will encourage me to start a new quilt instead of feeling overwhelmed staring at piles of unorganized fabrics. A great quilting resource.

Quilter's Scrap Pantry : The Grab-and-Go Approach to Organizing and Making Quilts from Scraps. This is a brilliant book for designing, preparing and making quilted items from scraps. I loved the structure of the book, the easy to follow diagrams and the lovely pictures. The organising ideas are brilliant, and everything is adaptable to suit your own tastes and purposes. There are also links to YouTube videos. Overall I loved it, brilliant book, very inspiring.
