I got Judy's 9-Patch Pizzazz: Fast, Fun & Finished in a Day after seeing it in my LQS. It had some fun, simple patterns in it, with ideas for using those ideas to create other quilts based on the basic idea. To be honest, I am a long-time quilter, with a depth of experience, and have designed quilts myself for many years. However, I have a stash of large prints that I had not been able to come up with any ideas for, and was frustrated. My work usually is based on applique, and I wanted something quick and easy, so 9-Patch Pizzazz: Fast, Fun & Finished in a Day was an investment in 'what to do when I have quilter's block and just want to make something fun'.

This book doesn't have it same feel as the first one. It feels more rushed, and less like something she enjoyed writing, as compared to the first one. It wasn't as creative, and her fabric choices were less than stellar. It isn't bad, but not up to her capabilities. It felt more “rush rush to get it to the printer” than anything else. Meh.

I hope she comes out with more books. I know she has the creativity, I just hope she is given the time to write up to her own standards in the future.

I don't quite know how I wound up with this book, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It wasn't worth whatever I paid.
