Crazy Shortcut Quilts by Marguerita Mcmanus, Sarah Raffuse (2007, Paperback)

I have been quilting for years but was looking for some new, quick ideas for projects that I don't have to send out to be machine quilted. This is a great beginner book if you don't know much about quilting. It covers fabric selection, threads and machine stitches. I highly recommend this book if you are a beginner or want some quickie projects.

I am new to quilting and I wanted to find an easy quilt as you go method.
I have read other books but they were confusing.
Crazy Shortcut Quilts is so very easy to understand.
The pictures help also.
It is amazing how quickly the quilt comes together. The author teaches you how to quilt big squares using fat
quarters, cut and resew them to your liking and put them all together in a crazy shortcut quilt.
I made one quilt and now I feel very confident starting my next one.
I recommend this book to everyone who loves to sew and quilt.

I love crazy quilting and I read the book from cover to cover in one sitting. I was looking for a procedure where the squares were quilted and then put together into a quilt. The directions was just what I was looking for. I would recommend to others who is looking for the same.

Crazy shortcut quilts is a very good resource for the weekend quilt experience. Many clear pictures and helpful hints for choosing color and patterns,laying out,piecing,sewing and embelishing. I found the directions easy
and the quilts very charming. There is not an excess of reading material to wade through before beginning a quilt. Overall a good book for beginning and intermediate quilters.
