Crazy Quilt Decor

This is a great book. The projects are presented with great instructions and pictures. I love crazy quilts and this is an excellent source of ways to use the idea in many different and creative ways--not just as a blanket. I really bought the book for the basket made from scraps of fabric shown on the front of the book. It is so easy to make and you will be pleasantly surprised at the end result. It is hard to imagine what the final result will be like when you start -- the only certainty is the color -- the surprise is the way the colors of the fabric interact with each other as you form the basket. The other projects in the book range from very simple and easy to more difficult and challenging, so there is something for everyone. I would definitely recommend this book to someone wanting to make unique accessories for your home by using up fabric scraps that you might have sitting in your fabric closet.

Wow!!!

Marsha Michler's groundbreaking new Crazy Quilt Décor is a must-have for quilters and decorators! Beautifully photographed and with complete, detailed instructions, it takes the art of quilting beyond the domain of ho-hum blankets to a limitless array of decorative items - vases, coasters, mirrors, baskets, purses, bathmats... all genuine works of art that would enliven and enhance any home. Ms. Michler's use of color, form, materials and pattern is simply stunning, her sense of whimsy absolutely delightful. There is an innate cheerfulness in her creations that just makes you want to smile. If you're not a quilter and just like decorating, get this book and find a quilter!

More Stars Please!!

This is a ten star book suitable for beginners as well as master quilters with its easy to follow, detailed instructions and patterns. Crazy Quilt Decor is packed cover to cover with clever one-of-a-kind projects which are beautifully photographed in full-color. This is a wonderful starter book for someone just trying their hand at Crazy quilting since there are many small projects to make such as a pillow or wall hanging. Overflowing with imaginative ideas and lots of great information, Marsha Michler's Crazy Quilt Decor is an awesome addition to any craft or quilting library. I highly recommend it. Nina Engelman
