Cross traditional crazy quilting with favorite pieced quilt patterns and today's machine quilting methods, and what do you get? Crazy fun for all kinds of quilters, even those who don't like handwork. Allie Aller and Valerie Bothell's guide offers an exuberant mixture of vintage and modern, hand and machine work, and clever ways to make traditional quilts a little crazy. Includes 10 projects in sizes from small wall hangings to bed quilts; photo instructions for 15 crazy quilt and silk ribbon embroidery stitches; and tips for combining crazy quilting with machine piecing and embroidery.
I have this book on my sewing shelf. It is in danger of falling apart; I refer to it that often. I am just finishing up a "Crazy for Plaid" quilt (designed by co-author Allison Aller) which is the reason I bought this book, to get that pattern. But there is so much more information in this book especially for a beginning crazy quilter like myself. I highly recommend this book for anyone's quilting library.
