I did some searching on the web for a better price for the "Shortcut Quilt" book. This is what I found.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCgeA1qymQQ On this web site the writer of the book, gives a demonstrration of how to make a crazy quilt from 18 inch fat quarters. Very interesting. I'm going to try one. |
I have a book called Stack The Deck Crazy Quilts. I think this is what you might be looking for. I made 11 of them for Christmas presents a few years ago. It has patterns in it but also has instructions on making your own pattern templates. Really quick and easy way to make a cute "crazy quilt. You cut the fabric squares, stack them up, lay the pattern on top, cut, shuffle, make the next cut and so on. I really liked it.

Just did a crazy quilt, I stacked 12 squares of different fabrics tehn cut them into 9 pieces. Starting with piece one take one piece of fabric and put it on the bottom of that pile, piece two, take two pieces and put them on the botoom of that pile, etc. I did 12 squares of material because that is what I could easily cut through!

Sounds more like 'stack and slash' to me, stack and whack begins with repeats of the same fabric pattern stacked and cut. Stack and slash is any fabric, stack in any order, cut, shuffled and after all seams and cuts, you have ramdom 'crazy quilt' block.

Stack the deck quilts are so fun to make and a great use for layer cakes...I follow the rule,
no. of cuts=no. of fabs This works great and I love any pattern that encourages me to be free form and spontaneous. |
I am currently working on a Crazy Shortcut Quilt. It goes together very quickly. It sounds similiar to what you are describing.
