This is very much like what my quilt guild did. We did one more cut to make the squares into rectangles. Put them together at random with narrow sashing and off set the rows. We added double borders of complimentary or contasting color and Ta-Da! a beautiful "modern" crazy look quilt. It made a really good mystery quilt project.

I have heard this referred to as a Crazy Nine Patch. I made one to give to the Senior Class when my oldest grandson graduated for them to give away at the all night graduation party. Using the school colors of purple and gold, I took Nine different purples then made a cut and then restacked them to make the other cuts taking fabric from the bottom pile. I can't remember for the life of me right now the dimensions or the name of the actual pattern but with the help of my friends we got it done and I embrodiared all the kids names on the blocks which were sashed with the gold. I believe one of us may have the pattern outline for cutting and size I will check and see if I can write down the instructions. I recall the pattern was called a crazy nine patch but was only two pages not a purchased pattern. I will see what I can do.

Thanks in anticipation.

I made a quilt called "Pointless Stars" that used the "stack 'n whack" method. Just move the top fabric from the pile, down to the bottom, then after each patch is sewn, cut the lot again, and do the same. I did it as a curtain for my daughter's dorm room several years ago....now it's a wall quilt to help keep the cold out of my other daughter's room.
