Disappointing,

This review is from: Crazy Quilting in a Weekend (Paperback)
I was hoping to find some very unique ideas in this book but I was very disappointed. Most of the projects had the same look. It reminded me of 1970s patchwork. Not "crazy" as the title suggests, but probably can be accomplished in a weekend.
