Combining a special fabric with simple blocks yields a captivating quilt.

A wonderful source of inspiration

If you're looking for a book that will give you hours of inspiration (and the urge to go out and buy more fabric), this is a great option for your library. Bold fabrics combine with bold (yet simple) designs to create stunning quilts that are remarkably easy to make.

I understand the point of view of the people who gave this book negative reviews. There are times when you want to invest the time and energy to make an intricate work of art for a special occasion or special recipient. But for some of us there are times when you want to whip up something artful, eye-catching, and super quick. This is the book for those projects.

When you begin gathering fabric to make one of these quilts, you may find yourself stymied by all your choices. Don't be surprised if you can't visualize how your fabrics will go together and you end up stuck. If that happens to you, I recommend you simply make one -- a practice quilt, if you will -- just to see how it works. Making my first quilt taught me a lot about how to choose colors and textures, which work together differently in Pizzazz quilts than in more traditional patterns. Several of the clerks at my local quilt shop have said the same thing. Making one will teach you more than 20 hours of studying the photos in the book. But be forewarned: Once you make one, you'll suddenly have ideas for six more!

9-Patch Pizzazz

This book offers a "formula" for creating interesting looking quilts that make use of your fabric stash, especially those fabrics that you are reluctant to cut. You can use larger pattterned fabrics as focal pieces and add coordinating fabrics in the 9-patch blocks for additional visual interest without detracting from the focal fabric. "Oriental Flight" pictured on the cover, gives the look of a watercolor-style quilt without having to cut so many tiny pieces. After viewing quilts made by students in a 9-Patch Pizzazz class at a quilt shop in Austin, TX, I am glad that I purchased this book. Clear directions and many close-up color photos.

Great Book

Book is good, well written. Love the quilts. The only down side is the quilts are small, not bed size.

Fast, FUN & finished in a day - just like title says!!!

I purchased this book thinking it would give me ideas for a gazillion 9 patches I acquired during recent yr long exchange. It didn't work for that but opened up a whole new avenue for using some BIG PRINT fabrics I had NO IDEA what to do with. My only suggestion is to carefully watch directional pieces & remember where they go. Silly me, counted needing 6 rectangles so that's what I fussy cut not paying attention to fact that SOME of them were vertical & some horizontal. Lots of fabric so no worry. Really fun, whimsical cow/farmyard quilt when finished. I can't wait to make more! I truly enjoyed the book & look forward to getting her Rectangle Pizzazz very soon. Just a note....I'm a new quilter & found the book VERY EASY to follow. Hope this is helpful...happy quilting!
