Successful Scrap Quilts from Simple Rectangles [Paperback] Review

When I first looked through this quilt book I knew that it was one I was going to have to have eventually, even though the price seemed a bit steep. I was particularly struck by a design called "Bento Box" which is made up of Japanese fabrics - completely made of rectangles which are cut 2"X31/2" and combine Japanese indigos with colorful kimono type fabrics. There were several other very attractive quilts, including the one featured on the cover. I realized that what I like best are quilts that combine simple piecing with colorful, interesting fabrics, and that is the basis of this book. If you feel the same way, I highly recommend this book.
I also thought the introduction (which describes the collaboration of the two women who wrote the book together) was touching.
