Crazy Shortcake is a pattern book for one quilt, in two sizes, with three machine quilting options, all made with a very popular and easy quilt-as-you-go method. Using 10" squares (pre-cut or cut from your stash), you'll make your crazy cuts and layer your blocks with batting and backing. The decorative stitches on your sewing machine, along with gorgeous rayon threads, is how you'll quilt the blocks, but two extra design twists add even more spice. Huge photos and easy step-by-step instructions guide you through the best joining process for connecting your blocks into a quilt. Add binding and finish with my "pretty corners" technique and you're done! The smaller sized quilt can be FINISHED in two days - not the top made - a finished quilt! Grab your pre-cuts, layer cakes, or cut your own squares and get started today. Play with all the lovely decorative stitches on your sewing machine and have more fun quilting than you've ever had! This book is a "shortcut" to all the techniques in my best selling book 'Crazy Shortcut Quilts'. Once you've made one of these little 'shortcake' quilts you'll understand the process completely and you'll have a core understanding of how all the quilts in 'Crazy Shortcut Quilts" were made.  Gorgeous, elegant, surprisingly easy (your decorative stitches do all the hard work!) this quilt is a fun make-it-in-a-weekend quilt that will keep you making many more of them.
