  7. I love using color with certain shapes in my quilts and this looks to be a great learning book.

  12. I would love to win this book. I would really like to get back to quilting. My great grandma use to make quilts when I was a little girl. She made me one and I loved it. Unfortunately my brother wrecked it. When my gram(her daughter) passed away I found one that she had…so I took it & take extremely delicate care with it. I’ll pass it on to my grand-daughter when that time comes. Thank you for this giveaway! 🙂

  14. I’ve been working on some quilt gifts lately but am still a newbie. This would be such a help!
