The Magic of Crazy Quilting,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Magic of Crazy Quilting: A Complete Resource for Embellished Quilting (Paperback)
I am a quilter but have never tried a crazy quilt. I have always enjoyed how they look and wanted to try one, but NOT without some help. I follow patterns well but am NOT good at just seeing something and doing it. This book IS exactly what I needed to get started on this technique. It gives step by step instructions on lots of stitches and a few small projects to try before you jump into the BIG quilt. I have read it from cover to cover and am looking forward to looking for vintage materials and embellishments to start. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who wants to try to step into the crazy quilting craze. WHAT A HELP!!!!YOU won't be sorry for investing in this book.

This review is from: The Magic of Crazy Quilting: A Complete Resource for Embellished Quilting (Paperback)
This is a great book. Lots of instructions and beautiful pictures. I purchased it when I got talked into helping my mom's quilt group by making a crazy quilt square. I had never made one before and with the inspiration of this book I ended up having the most elaborate block of them all! I definitely recommend it.
