Quilt Remix by Emily Cier is an interesting book. There are mulitple quilt designs, originating from classic quilt patterns. Each pattern has a chart for each size of quilt, and the fabric requirements and cutting chart. There are a few quilts I really like: The Ohio Star made from strip sets; and Flying Geese made with many, many flying geese-beginning with very small geese and all the way up to a few large ones. Another quilt that I really like is called Pinwheel. The Pinwheel blocks are made into a traditional pinwheel block and then, cut into circles. I can imagine all kinds of things I would like to make using these blocks!

There are a couple of quilts in the book that I just shook my head at: A wonky Irish Chain made with multiple wonky pieces that is labeled for a beginner; and a wonky Dresden plate made with sharp angles. These two quilts seem to be more work than the original patterns, but if you are going for a more artsy style, some of these quilts are for you.

Though Quilt Remix gives instructions on all of the quilting steps, I would not recommend this book for a new, beginning quilter. A quilter that is ready for a little challenge and some interesting effects will really enjoy this book!
