Perhaps the most amazing thing about the patterns in Strip-Smart Quilts II is the variety of design. Brown creates gorgeous, gripping quilts that range from traditional to modern, from complex to minimalistic, from bright and bold colors to down-to-earth tones. Make a stunning and electric chevron quilt with the Steak of Lightning pattern, or give a room the quiet sense of sunset with the breathtaking Evening in Vail pattern, which recalls the Rocky Mountains bathed in dying daylight. Practice your star quilts with the gorgeous, Autumn-colored Starburst quilt, or call up summery family vacations with the Just Beachy quilt.

There's no end to what you can make with the right tools and a little creativity.
