From Author and Fabric Designer Diane Knott
"...this book breaks it all down into piecing in crazy quilt fashion. No matching corners, no pre-measuring other than rough squares - all quilting done one small square at a time that you join with sashing with a system that is so unbelievably SIMPLE and makes such common sense! Tonight I actually cut out and pieced 12 complete squares. I've never pieced that many squares in an evening before."Here's the rest of her review...
And from Suzanne Benson....
"The authors give good directions on how to cut and sew, and many block ideas to make a variety of quilts, each with clear instructions. It's also a fun way to use pretty threads..."Here's the rest of her review....

I did sew all my squares together on Tuesday night - they went together sooooo fast. I love this way of quilting. I'm going to do the actual quilting of the squares this weekend (I can't wait).Thanks again.
From Julie E...
I just bought Crazy Shortcut Quilts this weekend and I absolutely love it! I've read it cover to cover, which I have to tell you is unusual for me. I usually just dive in and figure it out on the fly.
Marguerita,
I thought I'd share some pictures with you and Sarah on my first attempt at making one on the quilts in your book. I'm sure it won't be the last. I had a blast!
Julie
