ReviewsThis is a marvelous book for anyone who loves a "puzzle". Gave me great ideas for those blocks that don't quite fit. They put outrageous stuff together and it looks fabulous. I love stuff that's out of the ordinary, and this certainly is. I've added my personal ideas and touches, but thank the author for inspiring me to "climb out of the plain old quilt block box" and move on to greater quilting endeavors!! -Dolly L. Caswell
