The book is out of my hands....final proofing is done so now it is in my genious printers hands to make things happen. Hopefully we will be getting them next week so you overachiever shopowners that have already ordered (without even seeing the book!!) will get your shipment before market...Jippee!!
So here it is.......STRIP ON:
The quilt in the large picture on the cover is Criss Cross Double Toss and it is made out of my brand new fabric line, called Olivia which will be debuting at market too. I will show you more of that later. The quilt in the inset picture is called Angler's Choice and is made out of Bali Pops.
Here is the back Cover:
The quilt on the back is called Steamy Windows and is made out of a fabric line called Authentic. Included are instructions to use the leftovers from the quilt to make the table runner!!
I would love to get your feedback on these quilts so send me your comments. I will be posting more from the book in the next few days and I will draw 2 names out of all of the book comments and send you a free copy of the book.....ahead of everybody else!!
After previewing your lovely new book, which I think is an absolute must for any scrappy collection I am torn... which quilt would I want to make 1st? I absolutely love Criss-Cross Applesauce... it is fun & stylish... it just says "make me!" But I really think the 1st one that I would make is "Milky Way" because it would make an absolutely wonderful QOV! Fun, easy, great stash-buster & perfect for giving.

The quilt on the front cover looks gorgeous. It would look great in a lot of different fabrics.

Criss Cross Double Toss is calling me - I'm looking forward to seeing your fabric Olivia too. Another fabric purchase, as well as the book.

Luv the Steamy Windows.

I really like the Steamy Windows. It could be done in so many different fabrics for such completely different looks.
Posted by: Mary Durham | October 03, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Love steamy windows, it looks very classy and the controlled pallete of authentic really makes it pop. I am thinking of doing it in pink, red and mint green. once again a great collection from you.
Posted by: Alexandra | October 03, 2009 at 12:02 AM
I think the color possibilities for Criss Cross Double Toss are absolutely endless. Could be very scrappy, or very planned....Looks like a great book, Gudrun!

Æðisleg bók hjá þér, til hamingju með hana.
Ég var einmitt að skoða nýju efnin þín á Quiltbudin.is, ofsalega falleg.
Ég er að nota efni úr Ammas Garden í rúmteppi núna og ég held ég verði bara að gera annað úr Glow líka ;)
Hlakka til að fletta bókinni hérna á Klakanum :)

Love Steamy Windows and the colors you used are just beautiful. I love working with jellyrolls, so easy just sew, sew, sew. Will definatly be getting myself one of these books, winning one would be great. What quilt shops will be carrying these?
Posted by: Gale Lavers | October 01, 2009 at 05:01 PM
I really like Angler's Choice. It looks quite complicated, but I assume that using the strips will make it fairly easy to piece. I can't wait to see how it's done! In blues and greens, Angler's Choice would be a wonderful throw for our living room.
Posted by: Angela | October 01, 2009 at 04:07 PM
I love the Criss Cross Double Cross pattern and totally love the Authentic line of fabric! Your book looks fantastic and right up my line of working with strips! Thanks for the chance to win a copy!
Posted by: Barb | September 29, 2009 at 06:58 PM
WOW!!I like all the quilts, but I love all your patterns. The milky way is my fav. Keep up the great work

OK - Criss Cross Double Toss is now my favorite! The blocks are so unique! Very nice!!

I really like what you did with Authentic! Will you be at quilt market? I'd like to see the quilts in person!
Posted by: Vickie E | September 27, 2009 at 10:57 AM
The book looks fun--and I love that you have a project for the leftovers---I can't wait to see the new fabric....

I really like Criss Cross Double Cross. Can't wait to see what else this book has in store for us.

I am so in love with the Authentic line, and here you have a wonderful project all ready for it......*S*
Posted by: Sequana | September 24, 2009 at 09:34 PM
How exciting to have a fabric line. I love the Angler's Choice pattern, especially the color choice. Clever idea to incorporate the table runner to use the extra fabric.
Posted by: Mary Ellen Honan | September 24, 2009 at 09:17 PM
I always look forward to your new books! Love the Steamy Windows quilt!!!
Posted by: Gretchen | September 24, 2009 at 08:01 PM
The new book looks like lots of fun! I love the back cover quilt. I've been wondering what to make with my Authentic precuts! Thanks!
Posted by: Christy | September 24, 2009 at 07:09 PM
The book looks amazing Gudrun and I especially like Steamy Windows out of Au Then Tic but can't wait to see it make out of Olivia!!!
Posted by: Mary on Lake Pulaski | September 24, 2009 at 06:29 PM
I just saw in a magazine an add for the fabric Authentic and I was wondering what I could make with it. Now I know! Your quilt Steamy Windows looks great in that fabric line.
Posted by: Mary-Kay | September 24, 2009 at 06:02 PM
I love them all! I think the two cover quilts are my favorites...I'm just really liking those block styles right now! And I've been following your blog and Twitter but somehow didn't realize you had fabric coming out...congratulations...can't wait to see that too!
Posted by: sherri | September 24, 2009 at 04:43 PM
Oh so pretty. I love the Authentic line...great choice for your quilt. It would be perfect in my house. I think I need one too.
Posted by: Ruth B | September 24, 2009 at 04:36 PM
I just love the Steamy Windows quilt on the back cover. The Authentic fabric line is one of my favorite fabric lines that is currently out. I could decorate my whole family room with the Steamy Windows quilt and matching table runner. Thanks for such great ideas and patterns. I can't wait to see what else you have inside that book!
Posted by: Kathy | September 24, 2009 at 04:35 PM
Gorgeous!!! I love the Steamy Windows quilt featured on the back cover... can't wait to see what other quilts you have inside the book!
Posted by: Christy | September 24, 2009 at 04:01 PM
I really like the quilt on the back cover. Depending on the fabric it's a pattern I could use for a man or woman or child... Of course it's cool in Authentic!!
Posted by: Nancy | September 24, 2009 at 03:14 PM
Ooh! they both look so pretty and not horribly complicated-love this type of quilt!
Posted by: DianeY | September 24, 2009 at 03:08 PM
Yipee! Absolutely love the Criss Cross Double Toss. Can't wait to see the book and the fabric line. Oh the fun.
Posted by: Jeanette Nelson | September 24, 2009 at 02:59 PM
The front and back cover quilts look fun and quick to make - got ta love it just three months to big gift day.
Posted by: Mimi | September 24, 2009 at 02:59 PM
I love the back cover quilt! Very simple but yet so beautiful,
