THIS BOOK IS A TREASURE.

This book will give you the confidence to explore the fun and artistry of crazy quilting. The steps in each of the projects is described and photographed in a simple and comprehensive manner. If you own one book about quilted bags make sure its this one.

Love the projects!

This is a great book - I wasn't the least bit interested in quilting of any kind until I got this book. Barbara's "anything goes" attitude got me hooked and allowed my creativity to blossom.

Great but not really crazy quilting

This book is full of wonderful, colorful projects and techniques. It opened my eyes to the potential of my sewing machine. My only issue is that, to me, this isn't really crazy quilting. She uses strips of fabric whereas real C.Q. uses different shapes. This is more modified log cabin. Nonetheless, if you love color and embellishments, this book has a lot to offer.

Great book...I simply love it

I never heard of crazy quilt before and was never interested in quilting methods. This book changed my attitude and gave me the tools I needed to explore this old fashion medium. I simply love the color of the projects. I already done two and can not wait to continue. The explaination are clear, easy and anybody with a minimal sewing experience could do it. Great book, a lot of enthusiasm. A winner book!

Contemporary Crazy Quilt Projects at Their Best!!!

The author's enthusiasm for crazy quilting is quite apparent as she writes with great passion. This is not your ORDINARY crazy quilt book. Most embellishments are machine stitched and the fabrics used are bold and vibrant. The projects shown are purses, lampshades, throws, and more. What is especially wonderful is the gallery. My favorites - the crazy quilted window treatment, the upholstered crazy quilted chair and the dog bed! The author's instructions are very clear. Her pictures are wonderful! I am very happy with the book and would recommend it, aside from the great projects and patterns it also makes for great eye candy!
