Interested in Crazy Quilts?

When I was at the library last week, Crazy Quilts: History - Techniques - Embroidery Motifs caught my eye. I love quilting and I have heard of crazy quilts but I was never quite sure what they were or how to make them. This book answered all my questions. Author Cindy Brick offers a fascinating history of crazy quilts as well as instructions on how to make your own.
