My private stash is loaded with large-scale fabrics. I just can’t seem to resist buying stunning African, Asian, Hawaiian, seasonal, juvenile, and floral fabrics. I loved them when I bought them and abhor the thought of cutting them into small pieces.
With Judy Sisneros’ 9-Patch Pizzazz: Fast, Fun & Finished in a Day, I can use these beautiful fabrics to make scrumptious quilts for my children and grandchildren. And because the projects are easy (not to mention fun) and fast, those numerous family members won’t have to wait in line as long for “their” special quilt.
Every quilt in Sisneros’ collection is a combination of solid pieces of fabric and Nine-Patch blocks (with the occasional Rail Fence block). The quilt patterns are beginner friendly but experienced quilters will have fun also. All the quilts consist of a focus fabric and a minimum of three companion fabrics.
If you want to piece a quilt in one day, 9-Patch Pizzazz: Fast, Fun & Finished in a Day would be a good book to use as a guide or for actual patterns. The directions are clear, concise and easy-to-follow. The quilts are lovely patterns that everyone would love to have. I’m making Oriental Flight. It’s set on point and I’m using some of the beautiful Asian cotton fabric I bought in various Asian countries.
Armchair Interviews says: Beginners or experienced quilters will love 9-Patch Pizzazz. It’s a keeper for your quilt book library.

Excellent. The patterns in this book help you use our imagination and is excellent for getting the most from large and busy print fabrics. The patterns are simple with clear concise instructions plus providing how to use those prints in a very easy constructive manner.

I debated a long time before buying. Then someone told me about seeing a quilt made using the book and she was really impressed. The concepts are basic, the detail of the information and the explanations of best fabric use, colors, etc., are invaluable. It truly makes it possible to make a gorgeous quilt in a limited amount of time–and one to be proud of. And eases your mind about buying those gorgeous large-patterned fabrics. A very good book and well worth having in the library.

This book contains excellent instructions and tips to make beautiful quilts. You can finally use those great Asian prints and other conversational or landscape prints with large figures on them that you feared cutting up.
