I met Shelia when I was teaching in New Zealand and I was so happy for her when she told me she was writing a book. I was excited when her title came across my email from C&T Publishing. I dropped her a quick email to say congrats and she asked me to participate in the blog hop for her book. I had already perused the review copy and was impressed. I always know I'm going to like a book when I find something I can use or things I don't know when I open a book.
I love how this book is organized. It is everything you would ever want to know about using sixty degree shapes in quilts. For each shape Shelia goes into great detail about the shape itself, methods for cutting, sewing, and being creative with that shape. She has these great cutting charts for each shape which I know I will use often. She goes into detail about how to get the most out of your rulers. I love when there is more than one way to do things and she thinks of everything in this book.
Of course there are great quilts in the book. These are two of my favorites, Cosmic Rays made from parallelograms and Pot of Gold is in the sixty-degree strip piecing chapter.
I know you all will love this book and when you get it you're going to learn lots. I sure did. Go ahead and order it, but if you want to risk it Shelia and C&T Publishing are giving away an ebook. If you'd like to win just leave a comment and you're entered. I'll pick the winner at the end of the blog hop. Please make sure you're not a no-reply blogger. If you are, be sure to leave your email address in your comment!
Good Luck!!
