John B. ★★★★★

Finally, a scrap quilt book that treats negative space as a design element, not an afterthought. The way Sylvia builds texture by letting fabrics breathe in those expansive areas totally clicked for me while piecing the first project.

Madison ★★★★★

The photo of the Negative Space Throw project finally got me to sort my scrap bin—the layout instructions are crystal clear. I've already marked three other patterns to try next weekend.

Charlotte ★★★★★

I was skeptical that a book could make me finally use my scrap bin, but the way Schaefer uses negative space to let the fabric breathe is genius. The ten projects gave me a whole new approach to piecing, and I’ve already started the first one with fabric I’d been hoarding for years.
