Like most women, I’m really busy and I want projects that I can start and finish in a short period of time. Rectangle Pizzazz is a delicious quilting book that not only provides readers with fast, fun and easy quilting projects, it actually is user friendly and beginners will love it.
The author, Judy Sisneros, provides a brief overview of choosing fabrics and colors, discusses the tools you’ll need, and throughout the book are helpful hints for making your quilting time much more fun, not to mention easier. The directions are easy to follow and the colorful photographs will keep the quilter on track. At the back of the book are easy directions for finishing a quilt. Follow them carefully and you’ll be thrilled with what you’ve accomplished
If you quilt at all, you will have a ‘stash’. If you’re like me, your stash could stock a quilting store. The patterns in Rectangle Pizzazz easily fit the stash of fabric you have on hand.
My personal favorite is “Curves Around the Rectangle.” It’s my first project from the book, and I have stacks of Asian fabric I’ve been aching to use. The focus fabric is going to be difficult as I have so many to choose from. Well, I guess that means more than one of my daughters will be getting a new quilt. I’m not sure if I can actually start and complete the top in a day, but I’m going to give it a good try.
Another fun quilt to try is “Rectangles on Point.” The pattern catches the eye, the directions are easy to follow, and it actually looks like it is a fun, fast, quilt top to make.
