After a glance-through: I think I'm going to have to buy this one for myself. 20 quilts that are a happy marriage of the things I love about traditional quilt blocks and DS's minimalist/modern improv-ish aesthetic. Even though I don't remotely need any more quilts in my life right now, I might have to start one asap.

***

Such good inspiration! I feel like there's a good variety of quick patterns and challenging projects (the Tobacco Leaf quilt will BE MINE one day), and of course, lots of colorful quilts to ogle for motivation. I like DS; she's solid and doesn't feel like some of the modern quilt fluff out there.
