String Fling

Bonnie K. Hunter started quilting in the 1980's and never looked back. Since 2009 she has been teaching an travelling and in 2013 she won best teacher, author, designer, best new book release and lifetime achievement awards through a global internet poll hosted via Sew Cal Gal. She writes regularly for Quiltmaker magazine. You can catch up with Bonnie at her extensive website Quiltville.com and her blog Quiltville.blogspot.com.

It really is amazing what can be created with small pieces of fabric. Bonnie brings together her techniques of using String - pieces of fabric too small to be used in sewing. She teaches you how to sew them together to make strips and blocks.From there she then shows you projects that you can use them in. As a new quilter I am very excited about using scraps. I don't have much of a stash and by using the scraps it means I can get more quilts out of the fabric I have.  In this day and age I feel like we should be using up everything you can. You can even use fabric that is down to 3/4". Isn't that amazing. You don't need to waste any of those pieces. I love these type of books that no only show you a technique they show you multiple projects that you can use the techniques with.The designs are so inspirational and use other techniques as well to bring you an amazing array of different designs. There are step by step instruction so even a newbielike me is able to make quilts using the string method. I really love this book and will be using Bonnie's technique to use up my scraps and increase the amount of quilts that I am making.For the full review and images: http://www.crochetaddictuk.com/2015/12/string-fling-kansas-city-star-quilts.html
