I also would like to add that I loved Justin, in his penguin suit. He always makes me start watching the show with a smile or laugh. Great job by everyone with making the shows. Thanks Mary Anne Smith

The book was actually published in 2002. The layout is in the book and many more ideas. I have made a number of the patterns from Successful Scrap Quilts from Simple Rectangles.

I was fortunate enough to have Sue Sherman at one of my guild meetings. Fabulous is not good enough. So magical. As a member of the Mount Scrapmore group, Brenda has given us so many amazing blocks. In Canada, United States and Australia we have had potato chip block swaps. So much fun to open an envelope with chips. When I am working on a quilt I just cut a few 2.5 by 4.5 inch blocks and add to the stash. One of our members of our scrap group made monochromatic blocks out of every color and put them together. Great result.

the potato chip block math also works with 1.5" x 2.5". I made a wonderful quilt for Christmas for my brother using the potato chip pieced blocks alternating with a "solid" like a giant checkerboard. It was a huge hit!
