This book published in 1986 may have been an uptodate methodology at that time, but has since been outdated and in my estimation is not worth the money.

This book is a good beginning book for a person wanting to learn to do Crazy Quilting. She shows how to piece the blocks (sew the material down). She has good pictures, and you can see the stitching that has been done on the finished projects.

The projects include a tea cozy, quilt, toaster cover, purse, Christmas stocking, and (among others) a shopping bag.

I got this book as one of the first CQ books in my library, and it was a help to me, even though I had to buy others to expand my knowledge. This is a good book for basics. The pictures are all in black and white, and while it may LOOK outdated, with modern materials, these ideas and techniques are helpful

Black and white format. Stitch diagrams reasonably good, though not many different stitches included. Styles of projects included outdated. (May be coming back in to fashion though, as the featured quilt seems to have a "peace sign" as it's main theme.) This book does not really come close to the Victorian crazy quilt books that are currently on the market. For the price, it might not be a bad addition to a library on CQ, but I think I'd pass it up otherwise

Contains a very nice patchwork Christmas stocking pattern.
Book is in excellent condition. Thank you,
