Check out your other local quilt stores or maybe the library may have a copy. Sometimes grocery stores will carry it as well. Let's see...flip and stitch.....Valorie Wells has several books with the technique...but in a nutshell you begin with two pieces stitched and freewheeling it you continue to add pieces in varying degrees of size and shape....this is often used in a method similar to log cabin, though they can be side by side. It is literally flip and stitch a new piece to the previous fabric.The irregular shapes aid in creating a "look". if doing it in a straight line....the shapes would be uneven in the length thereby creating the ragged edge. Machine stitiching further enhances the look of raggedness. Back issues of Quilters Magazine or Quilt magazine,Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting would have it too. The Quilters Encyclopedia may have an example as well. Will look on this end and try to get you an example.
