Summary: Jam-packed with great info & ideas!
Review: I have quilted in the past, but I have never made a crazy quilt. I was interested, so I purchased this slim 80 page book from Amazon. It is a large format (magazine-size) book. I didn't expect to learn much in 80 pages, but this slim volume packs a lot of information. There are a few pages devoted to the history of crazy quilting, showing some made in the 1800s that look like they were made yesterday -- yes everyone, our work will probably outlive us as well. Then there areas devoted to getting started (fabric selection, texture, balance), the basic how to regarding crazy quilting (including how to build on the foundation & piecing), problem solving, trims & finally embelishment. There are also 12 step-by-step projects with complete instructions and full size pattern drawings for you to trace and use for the projects.
This is a super book for crazy quilting! I feel like I could confidently start one today. This book was a great purchase.
