Are you a Camille Roskelley fan??  I am betting you are and you don’t even know it.  Camille is the force behind her blog Simplify.  She’s also 1/2 of Moda’s design team Bonnie and Camille.  In fact, right now, I am working with their soon to be released fabric line, Scrumptious.  She is also an amazing pattern designer and author.  We’re you part of the big Swoon quilt making?  If you don’t know about that, check out the great images courtesy of google.
When I saw that she had a new book out, I immediately asked C&T Publishing for a review copy. Â The book is Simply Retro.
The book features quick quilts in a modern motif. Â Many of the quilts feature over-sized blocks. Â Here’s a great example of an over-sized block quilt. Â Cute, right?? Â That sure would make a REALLY fast baby quilt. Â With a fun novelty print on the back a kiddo would be sure to love it.
This next quilt is “Sweet Life”. Â You can’t tell from the photo but the blocks are 18″ x 18″! Â That makes a quilt go together in a hurry.
This quilt is “Adorn”. Â It would be great to make to use up some scraps. Â Again with a fun kid friendly backing it would make a wonderful baby quilt.
Next up…”Dwell”. Â If you’re a fan of house blocks, this is another sure to please.
This is my favorite of the book and it’s called “Framed”. Â I can see it as a wonderful way to use up lots of scraps. Â Cute…right??
If I was looking for fast donation quilts, lots of these would be perfect.  Using over-sized blocks really makes for easy and fun quilts.  Sadly, I don’t have a copy to give away.  My review copy came as an ebook.  If you looking for the book, Amazon has it here…Simply Retro with Camille Roskelley: Fresh Quilts from Classic Blocks and C&T Publishing has it here.
Love this book. I just checked it out at the library and now I must have it. I really prefer paper books for quilting. I really need to get over it!
I love everything Camille does … have her Simplify ebook, Swoon pattern and enjoy her blog. Looks like her new book will be just as wonderful! Making a house block quilt “Dwell” is on my list and “Framed” is very different and fun.
Been wanting to buy this book for a month now. Maybe now that I’m done with back-to-school shopping I can finally indulge!
I would love to add a copy of this to my library for children’s charity quilts. We are an active group and have given away close to 2000 quilt so far.
I looked this book up on Amazon! Hopefully I’ll win it rather than buy it! :) Thanks all for the give away!
Great designs. I can see them in so many different fabrics!
